PALM-GeM

PALM-GeM (Geospatial Data Merging and preprocessing into PALM) is an advance tool for PALM's static driver preparation. PALM-GeM is developed to work effectively with publicly available dataset in standard GIS format. The enables to prepare a static driver for most larger european cities in spatial resolution 5-10m. Current data sources are UrbanAtlas, OpenStreepMap, EU-DEM

Functionality

The workflow of static driver preparation:
- Location definition: definition of simulation domain. Checking data availability for selected region/city. 
- Dataset downloading: download of necessary dataset.
- Domain definition for inputs: definition of domain extend for general inputs domain schema.
- Inputs data preparation: Geographic conversion to unified targed Geographic coordinate reference system (EPSG, SRID)
- PALM static driver domain definition & preparation: Detailed definition of target PALM's static driver domain. Domain center, extend, resolution, ...
