Abstract:
The roads which are characterized by green effect are preferred by both pedestrians as well as by vehicle drivers. Using openrouteservice, we have evaluated the green routes and find the extent of greenery in these roads. With the help of OpenStreetMap, we have measured the greenness in the roads for which we used imagery and three dimensional data. . We studied the impact both at the level of the individual route and at the urban level for then cities. For individual routes, we find how strongly green routes differ from the respective fast routes. Besides, we measured the
parts of the road network which represent important green corridors as well as unattractive parts which can or cannot be avoided at the cost of reasonable detours. During analysis we found that the significance of green spaces for the provision of attractive green routes and provide new insights for urban planning.
