OpenStreetMap provides freely available data about transportation networks as well as parking spaces, schools, businesses, shops, restaurants, cafes, parking spaces, hospitals. In this talk a set of Julia packages for the manipulation of map data will be presenting, allowing processing road system information, vehicle routing as well as data scraping from maps for understanding the urban space.
Presented Julia packages include OpenStreetMapX and OSMToolset.
During the talk tools and frameworks in Julia for working with spatial data will be presented. The presented Julia packages include OpenStreetMapX.jl for parsing of OSM and PBF formatted Open Street Map data, along with OpenStreetMapXPlot for plotting maps and OSMToolset for extraction of point-of-interest data from maps. Special attention will be given to the new package, OSMToolset, a pure Julia library that facilitates efficient scraping of various metadata from maps, including amenities, schools, cafes, restaurants, and parking spaces.
The talk will emphasize practical examples and code snippets for processing spatial data, simulating vehicle routing, and building spatial walkability indexes. This presentation will also feature a Jupyter Notebook with a live demonstration of various processing patterns for spatial data.
