ImproveOSM
ImproveOSM is the name for the collection of data and tools that Grab makes available to the OSM community.
Missing Roads, One-Ways, Turn Restrictions
Based on comparing large amounts of anonymized customer trip data with existing OSM data, Grab is able to reliably detect where OSM is probably missing roads, Key:oneway tags and Turn restrictions.
The results are available as data dumps and through JOSM plugins. There is also an iD fork on the ImproveOSM web site, for directly editing the missing things.
