Meetups and progress

[fozy81]

@skhutan @joel-c @NeilWkz

Hi all, how are you? There's a OpenStreetMap meetup in Glasgow this Tuesday 17th Feb - 7pm at the Saramago Bar, CCA arts centre, Sauciehall Street.

Be great if you can make it.

Also hope you can make the next cyclehack event in Glasgow: June 19-21st 2015

I've been working on some things, namely a package in R which rates bicycle infrastructure from data taken from openstreetmap. This a more formalised version of the code I used in the cyclehack. But I've hosted the code on 'Open CPU' which means you don't need to know R to use it, you can call the functions or data when you need them as a web service e.g. https://fozy81.ocpu.io/bikr/data/scotlandAmsterdam/csv - this is the raw data

or use the R function from the terminal using curl: curl https://fozy81.ocpu.io/bikr/R/bicycleStatus/json -d "x=scotlandAmsterdam" - this takes the raw data and rates it against cycle infrastructure in Amsterdam

You can read the documentation in your web browser too:
https://fozy81.ocpu.io/bikr/man/bicycleStatus/text

or using the https://www.opencpu.org/jslib.html javascript library.

The openstreetmap data is now held in a database rather than as xml. It's on my local machine, but hopefully get access to proper server soon. Creating the raw data takes about 20mins. So I think this will always need to be pre-calculated (daily or hourly etc).

So the general idea is make the underlying stats and functions available to any website that wants to make use of them. It's all still under development and not pinned down yet, but be really good to talk to you all about the best way to engineer this.

But just for demo (and helping me test out things). I've created this website:

https://opendata.shinyapps.io/shinyapp/

But this is crappy demo, but I'm hoping we can pull in the stats into an updated VeloScape website along with MSP contact details, postcode lookup etc...

But we could also aim to go global...be interesting to see if we can rate all the countries in the world for their cycle infrastructure...

Cheers,

Tim

Hello Tim,

Not heard from you for a while. As you can probably gather I've been a
bit remiss on this project of late, but I'm up for trying to do something.

I'll come along on 17th. See you then :-)

Hi Tim, Joel:

Nice to hear from you both... I’m living & working in London now, so the Open street map meetup is out of the question for me. I’m keen to make the trip back up for cyclehack to see if we can get further forward, and to try to catch up with my friend up the road.

I’m up for doing some work on the project too beforehand, to try to get it into a more functional state, but I’m reaching the delivery phase of a project this month, so I doubt I’ll be able to take a look at it before april.

Thanks

@joel-c @NeilWkz nice to hear from you, and glad you both still interested. Maybe see Joel tomorrow night for a chat. Otherwise, perhaps at the next Cyclehack. cheers,

Hey guys,

Cool stuff, I'm currently in Edinburgh studying for my final year so a bit
busy :p
That said, I might be able to come to Cyclehack again but not 100% sure at
the moment.

It'll probably be in the electron club, across from the bar.

Hey,

I guess maybe folk aren't looking for new hacks, but I thought there was
a nice cross-over between veloscape and this:

http://citycyclingglasgow.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=124&start=170#p2049

Interrogating Nextbike Glasgow data - could be quite useful I think.

[fozy81]

Hi Joel, i got my early bird ticket, so see you there!

Interesting link - i like all the weather related data etc...

[fozy81]

Joel, OpenStreetMap meeting in Glasgow, tonight Tu 19 May 7pm Saramago Bar - if you can make it. Have a good look round at the back of the bar. I'll be there.
