Update website with new data

[Robinlovelace]

@wangzhao0217 has completed a new full build, plan is to get it uploaded onto production by end of the month. Jobs are:

• [x] Zhao to upload data as a release in outputdata
• [x] Test locally?
• [x] Robin to add data to our hosting platform
• [x] Martin to update the links
• [ ] Deploy :rocket:

See new data for testing: https://github.com/nptscot/npt/releases/tag/v2024-01-17-23-50

We should think of automated ways to test these, e.g. a script to auto download/unzip the relevant files. Should that live in this repo or elsewhere? Thoughts very welcome @mvl22 .

@Robinlovelace the simplified_network is there; I mistakenly checked the wrong folder...sorry.

Perfect, there are still some improvements we can make to the build process, but that means we have everything we need to test, I think. I'll check to json files to see if https://github.com/nptscot/npt/issues/369 is fixed.

@mvl22 could you try running it locally with this DataZone json file? json

I've just had a look at routes_utility_fastest.Rds in the linked data, and they only cover the geo_subset area around the Forth Bridge.

Thanks for the heads-up Joey, I did think it sounded like a fast build! I guess this needs to be set to false before the next build: https://github.com/nptscot/npt/blob/main/parameters.json#L6

You should also specify a new routing date or delete the previous route files.

The website expect PMTiles, not JSON. When this has become PMTiles you can then test it by setting tileserverTempLocal: true and ensuring that source has a localUrl specifying the path.

While I could add support for JSON rendering into the codebase, that will eat up time for what is temporary testing of a file rather than anything used in production. I imagine you'd prefer the limited time available used for system improvements...

[Robinlovelace]

PMTiles output is fine.

Done for the rnet datasets in #184. We need to update the zones and other datasets now I think.

Blocked on #212
