Topic
The goal of this topic is to couple LiveCoM Suite to an indoor mapping application (e.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Indoor_Mapping) in order to retrieve station-related in-door maps. These maps can then be integrated into the visual passenger information in order to show the floorplan(s) of the upcoming stations.
Further extensions to the topic:
* Matching the platform locations to the in-door maps in order to only show relevant information for passengers arriving at a certain platform/direction
* Investigation of tools and how the process works for operators to define in-door station maps, which data is available, what can be done additionally with that data?
* Other applications for in-door station maps?
