Spatial information systems as sources of data for electromobility planning

The article presents spatial information systems as sources of data describing the public space in cities and suburbs. The article focuses on a system used by the local government to manage road infrastructure, including areas designated for car parks. It presents the OSM, a commonly used open data system, which contains data extraction algorithm. The study covered by the article examines existing parking places in the town of Sosnowiec, Poland, as potentially suitable for electric vehicle charging stations. Determination of such convenient locations is one of goals of the international project of Electric Travelling under the ERA-NET CoFund Programme, a project which focuses on developing and implementing a platform supporting electromobility, both from the point of view of transport system users and administrators of transport infrastructure. Moreover, the article presents general objectives of the Electromobility Law and short description of the ETSys platform architecture.
