Urban Scales: Road network features in square urban tiles predict congestion levels

Introduction

This repository contains the code and data for the research paper "Investigating the Link Between Road Network and Congestion for Highly Congested Cities". The study extracts 14 different features from OSM urban tiles of size varying from 0.25 sq. km. to 2 sq.km to predict congestion patterns in various cities. Seven cities were considered: Auckland, New York City, Cape Town, Bogota, Mexico City, Mumbai, and Istanbul.

Prerequisites

Install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Installation

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/mie-lab/Urbanscales.git

Usage

To run the analysis scripts and generate the congestion features, check out to the commit id at paper submit (09f7908619f9a6bab882e30002c4268ffe27f67c)

Data

The network data is derived from OpenStreetMaps and processed using osmnx and the jam factor data is obtained from the HERE api.
