OSM data update pipeline pipeline_osm_data_update

  • ⚠️ Get city boundaries via osmnx (take care of special cases like Copenhagen)
  • Add centroid lat/lon columns to cities.csv
  • ⚠️ Add wikidata_qid column to cities.csv
  • ⚠️ curl all country pbfs from cities.csv from geofabrik, filenames: removing date + taking care of special country name mappings
  • Create city pbfs, street_networks, bike_networks, growable_networks, streetbike_networks
  • ⚠️ Fetch rail stations, schools via osmnx
  • Recalculate meta/rec_table.csv and meta/network_metrics.csv
  • Manual sanity checkpoint
  • Update osm_data_date in meta/versions.csv
  • ⚠️ Push new data version to zenodo

Tools export pipeline pipeline_tools_export

  • Paralellizable: gbn offline export (~2 days)
  • Paralellizable: fbn offline export (~1 day)
  • Paralellizable: lbn offline export (~2 days)
  • ⚠️ Paralellizable: sb online export (~3 days with 1000 sleep) - crashes & timeouts possible!
  • Manual sanity checkpoint
  • Update versions in meta/versions.csv
  • ⚠️ Push new data versions to zenodo
  • ⚠️ Push new data to server
