After months of development by Dong, Ruben, and Bing, CollabMap is finally live. Go to http://www.collabmap.org and perform simple tasks to help us build an accurate map of Fawley for the purpose of computer simulations (and ‘like’ it on facebook/google/twitter!).

General Info: CollabMap is a crowdsourcing platform designed by researchers in the Agents, Interaction, and Complexity Group at the University of Southampton. The platform crowdsources the task of identifying building evacuation routes to a large number of users, by offering them freely available data, such as satellite imagery (e.g. Google Maps), panoramic views (e.g. Google Streetview) and building shapes to carry out this task.
