OpenStreetMapX.jl

This is a complete re-write of OpenStreetMap.jl package.

Compared to the original package major changes include:

• Plots.jl with GR is used as backend for map vizualization (via a separate package OpenStreetMapXPlot.jl)
• LightGraphs.jl is used for map data storage
• Several changes with routing algorithm (currently finding a route in a 1 million people city takes around 250ms)
• Data structure adjustment to make the library more suitable to run simulations of cities.

The goal of this package is to provide a backbone for multi-agent simulation of cities. The prototype simulator has been implemented in OpenStreetMapXPSim.jl).

Installation

The current version uses Julia 1.0.0

using Pkg; Pkg.add(PackageSpec(url="https://github.com/pszufe/OpenStreetMapX.jl"))

Usage

using OpenStreetMapX
map_data = OpenStreetMapX.get_map_data("/home/ubuntu/", "mymap.osm");

println("The map contains $(length(map_data.nodes)) nodes")

See the samples directory for a more complete example.
