## Routes for walking to school This script generates maps to analyze the potential walking routes for students to their school. - I excluded the addresses of the students from the repository. - The actual route generation is done with OSRM, I run it locally in a docker container. - The basemap is pulled from Stadia Maps. The usage of the script is well within the free tier, you'll need an API key from them. ## Data sources - School location data is from: https://data-wi-dpi.opendata.arcgis.com/ - Madison Bike Level of Traffic Stress is from: https://data-cityofmadison.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/cityofmadison::bike-lts/explore - Student addresses provided by school. ## Example figures This script will generate a few figures: ### A heatmap of student addresses: ![example address figure](examples/example-addresses.png) ### A map of all the walking routes within the walk boundary: ![example routes figure](examples/example-routes.png) ### A map of those routes colored by the level of traffic stress to bike ![example routes-lts figure](examples/example-routes-lts.png) ## Using make - `make osrm-data`: downloads the OpenStreetMap data for Wisconsin, and preproccesses it for use with OSRM. - `make osrm-container`: starts the OSRM containers (backends and frontends) for walking and biking. - `make brouter-data`: clones the repositories for brouter and brouter-web and downloads the segment data. It also builds the docker images for brouter and brouter-web. - `make brouter-container`: starts the brouter containers (backend and frontend). - `make walk` will run *route_analysis.Rmd* which calculates the walking routes using OSRM. - `make cycle-osrm` will run *cycling_route_analysis.Rmd* which calculates the biking routes using OSRM. - `make cycle_brouter` will run *cycling_route_analysis_brouter.Rmd* which calculates the biking routes using brouter. ## Misc. - [Bike Level of Traffic Stress (LTS)](https://www.dvrpc.org/webmaps/bike-lts/analysis/) ## OpenStreetMap Data - [wisconsin-latest.osm.pbf](https://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/wisconsin-latest.osm.pbf)
