🥵🚶How far can we really walk in a heatwave?

A study by Huber et al. assesses how solar exposure and heat stress impact pedestrian access to essential services in Heidelberg, using data and a customized routing engine.

Results: Nearly one in four citizens loses access to essential services during high heat stress.

Pedestrians in can identify cooler, safer routes using the app: heal.openrouteservice.org/

To calculate how NO2 concentration might affect the population, we finally chose to calculate isochrones (5-minute walk) from the measurements. For this, we used #openrouteservice in an R environment. We then used #QGIS to create the final maps.
Does anyone have another approach?

Aus aktuellem Anlass: Planung einer Wanderung ohne Werbeschleudern, ohne Login, Eckpunkte klicken und verbinden lassen:

maps.openrouteservice.org/

Einzige Voraussetzung: man muss ein wenig Erfahrung haben, wie auf openstreetmap gangbare Wege aussehen, bzw. wie sich das Kartenbild in die Wirklichkeit übersetzt. Aber dass man nicht durch ein Industriegebiet wandern will, oder 3km auf einem Fahrweg direkt neben der Autobahn, das weiß man doch, oder?

What #OpenStreetMap routing method would you use to draw a reasonably efficient route to visit a number of coordinates (dozens, hundreds of places)?

#OpenRouteService is the only option mentioned in wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tr .

For example: tour of 35 #Helsinki city #libraries. I did the track manually on #GraphHopper and imported it on #uMap. Surely there's a better way?

#openrouteservice (ORS) has been growing steadily, and we are thrilled to see how it is being used for meaningful purposes, from humanitarian logistics to sustainable transportation and beyond.
Here are some metrics on its impact in the last year ⬇️

#30DayMapChallenge #day4:

🏫 Lessons in Traffic 🏫

This map shows how rush hour travel times to Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) change when the school starts: brown hexagons show higher travel time increases.

The map was created with #openrouteservice using #UberMovement open data.

This is part of a study by Charles Hatfield, Marcel Reinmuth et al that shows how school commutes shape urban traffic patterns and impact access across Nairobi.

#Day2 of the #30DayMapChallenge, a map with #lines:

🚗 Routing Networks in Birmingham & Copenhagen 🚗

Using #openrouteservice, Marcel Reinmuth examined car #mobility in Birmingham and Copenhagen by mapping 300x300 random routes across each city.
He analyzed both fastest and shortest routes:
🔹 Fewer, central roads dominate fastest routes.
🔹 Shortest routes spread traffic across more streets.

🚨 @ors_news #openrouteservice update!

#ORS now has #export and #snap endpoints, changing the way users interact with and process routing data, making it easier to handle complex use cases or pre-process points for routing queries.

Ha, j'avais jamais vu cette fonction #isochrones #vélo d' #openRouteService !

Rigolo quand y a des montagnes, en partant de vers chez moi par ex.

As I waited for my coworker's response for data, I:
- took a #mondaycom course on API
- created my own API's using #RStats and #AWS_EC2
- extracted pop info from tiff to geojson
- analyzed census data
- created a simple #appsheets app
- created a demo #shinyapps using #voronoi areas and #openrouteservice pois and isochrones
- and several other minor chores

and I believe I still have to wait...

We soft-launched a detour creation tool for #MBTA dispatchers, which generate turn-by-turn directions so they don't have to figure out the directions themselves. It's built on top of #OpenStreetMap and #OpenRouteService and our dispatchers are finding incorrect street restrictions. Now we have to figure out how to streamline their knowledge back into OSM in a timely manner. 🤔

It's the same:

Du pendelst zum @NDR in Hamburg mit dem Fahrrad und möchtest „preiswert“ wohnen: Isochronen (15-60min) rund um den Hugh-Greene-Weg 1 aus dem #OpenRouteService mit den 100m-Gitterdaten der Quadratmetermiete aus dem #Zensus 2022. Auf der Fahrt zur #nr24 mit #QGis erstellt. #fedibikes

Stadtplan Hamburgs überlagert mit Linien, die die Fahrzeit zum NDR mit dem Fahrrad für 15, 30, 45 und 60 Minuten anzeigen. Darüber liegen farbige Kästchen, die die Höhe der Nettokaltmiete je Quadratmeter anzeigen. Nordwestlich vom NDR hat man eine kurze Anfahrt bei geringeren Mieten.

Why am I completely incapable of searching places with openstreetmap.org/ in everyday use? 😅

Any cool tricks?

And maps.openrouteservice.org/ is for me similarly difficult to use. I just struggle so hard finding the places where I want to go...

@olafschloesser »Wisst ihr noch wie nach dem Treffen in dem Hotel in Potsdam [...] damit jetzt in dem Hotel in Potsdam unmenschliche Abschiebepläne geschmiedet werden«
Also diese Gleichsetzung geht jetzt mal so GAR NICHT!!drölf!
Das Dorint Sanssouci Potsdam ist genau 4 Kilometer¹ von der Villa Adlon entfernt! Also gaanz weit weg. (Ob dort nur zu dem Termin ausgebucht war, kann ich jedoch nicht sagen.)
