pyrosm for network download #61

Closed knaaptime closed 4 years ago

knaaptime commented 4 years ago

hey folks, thanks again for this library. I was wondering if you'd seen the recently released pyrosm? it's able to parse OSM data much faster than alternative methods, so might be a more performant way to construct networks. Just wanted to raise the possibility of incorporating it here

Hi @knaaptime ! Have not seen it but agreed it looks like it would be a great addition to speed things up on the OSM side. Could be an optional param as an addition to the https://github.com/UDST/urbanaccess/blob/dev/urbanaccess/osm/load.py#L76-L81 section if one has the local .osm.pbf file. Something we can consider in a future release. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Of course PRs are always welcome for anyone interesting in taking this on sooner rather than later.

this has been implemented on the pyrosm side(!) so i'll go ahead and close this (though it might be nice to link there from here)
