StreetComplete_usage_changeset_analysis VS osmnx

Hey there, I'm an OpenStreetMap enthusiast and I was curious what kind of impact the app I am using has (I use StreetComplete[1], an easy-to-use Android app to add missing information). I couldn't find data for all my questions and some were not up to date, but I found a few starting points on how to do it myself[2][3]. Soon I realized that many more interesting questions about OpenStreetMap in general could be answered with the data and I created a website (https://piebro.github.io/openstreetmap-statistics/) to show them. Since I want the data to be up to date, I added a script to update everything easily and packed it in GitHub Actions so I can update the data with a few clicks every month.

If you have questions or feedback, feel free to comment here or open an issue at the repo.

You want osmnx

OSM road network data was analyzed using osmnx (https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx). Plotted using QGIS.

I think you’re hitting this issue right now: https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx/issues/832

RDS-TMC transmits traffic data over FM radio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_message_channel Some is encrypted, some not.

It might be possible to model traffic with OSMnx to assign weights to roads by expected traffic levels https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx

Depending on where you live you might be able to get traffic data and maybe traffic models from public authorities using Freedom of Information requests.

Osmnx might also be a way to download data for the whole country. It breaks the area up in smaller parts automatically and also downloads the parts from Overpass. https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx

You can make your own with a variety of tools, but I like the results from OSMnx offhand.

I have no idea if this works for such large regions, but https://geoffboeing.com/publications/osmnx-complex-street-networks/ is an awesome tool to visualize street (and maybe bike) networks.
