Re: [OSM-talk] Proximity
The person I spoke to who had the requirement was from Health Canada and they entered their name in an email to themselves on my phone. They specifically asked for OpenStreetMap to the presenter and I didn't have time to discuss the requirements in detail. The email address they entered was rejected. I have other ways to track them down but I think they were trying to identify areas that were under-served. However you have to remember we are talking Canada so walking is not so important. We have many detached houses on 35 and 50 foot lots so in parts the density is low which means providing services within walking distance is challenging. With wind chill it can reach minus 40c easily so elderly patients do not walk that often in winter. Ice makes it more difficult. Summer we have periods of over 30c when the elderly are advised to stay indoors. From memory the UK is different and more walking friendly. Locally the municipal transit service is an exceptionally good hub and spoke system. It arrives on time well within two minutes 99.5% of the time for local services which anyone from say the UK will find very difficult to believe so transit is more important to people without cars.

Re: [OSM-talk] Proximity
As a rule, if somewhere large like a hospital is built then bus companies will change their routes to serve it. More local health centres are built to serve their local area, if you live in a settlement of a reasonable size you will expect the local health centre to be walkable without using public transport.

Bye Frederik On this website one can see on the OSM map not only the locations of stops, but the positions of the public transportation vehicles themselves in real time. Here are the positions of the tram (light train) #28 in the city of Odessa: https://www.eway.in.ua/ru/cities/odesa/routes/1 It is very convenient as one does not have to wait at the stop but can leave home or office just in time to get on the tram. So no need to have too many vehicles on the route as one can comfortably plan the trip even if there are not many. I think such dynamic real-time mapping is the future of public transportation and cartography in general, though I am not sure how it is implemented on this particular website. I assume they use GPS sensors. But how they transmit locations to the map's server constantly I am not sure.

Re: [OSM-talk] Proximity
Solutions depend how big is your data. Overpass count function might be the solution if just a one shot calculation. You would have a query for each type. If you want to use the power of SQL databases, Sqlite is a «light solution», coupled with the DBeaver database tool.https://dbeaver.io/ I used to parse OSM xml with a Python script, but PostgreSQL + PosGIS offers more long term development options like for the Quality analysis I did on Building geometries (https://opendatalabrdc.github.io/Blog/index.html#!Database_Quality_Analysis_Tasking_Manager.md). Osmosis (Osm2Pgsql schema) takes care to import OSM/Xml directly in a PostGIS database. From there, quite easy to count, filter, analyze data.

That is a lot of routing calculation to do but it can be done overnight or even over a couple of days. Consider using a reverse walk from the destination and aggregating stats on the travel times to origins. That will speed things up nicely.

Many standard routing tools (Graphhopper, OSRM, Valhalla) can do "isochrones", that is essentially what you are looking for for one single bus stop. You would simply run that for every bus stop and join the results together. Since you don't need instant results and you don't want to run this for a whole country, the algorithm to use is really simple - build a routing graph, annotate each bus stop node with a travel time of "0", and travel outwards along all reachable nodes, increasing your travel time by the time it takes to walk the edge you are using, until you reach a node that already has a smaller time annotation than you have accumulated. There's a simple Perl implementation in svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/distance_maps that could be used as a basis if Perl is your thing but you could use pg_routing just as well. Having said that: 1. In the concrete example of a hospital, I would expect the local bus operator to create a new bus stop or even change a bus route to accommodate the hospital. Of course this would not work if you wanted to set up a bakery. 2. The existence of a bus stop in OSM does not mean it is actually served by a route; and the existence of a route in OSM that serves the bus stop does not necessarily say what frequency - it could be the school bus that only goes three times a day, or the night bus, or the bus extension to the pool that only goes in summer.
