Has anyone done any work in the area of making maps representing 'distance to feature' as measure along routable roadways/footways?
Local school board is trying to drop school bus service school kids (from grade 1 up) within 2.0km of school and get them to walk to school (bear in mind this is a rural community with -40'C winters, wildlife such as bears/cougars and an ungated CPR train route through it). I have some ideas about representing the data, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to parse through each node and measure the distance along each way to produce a list with 'distance to school' tag for every hightway node? Is this the 'best' approach? The node list would/could then be passed through a variant of 'strm2osm.pl' to produce a contour layer, and then merged/plotted with osmarender. I could also imagine that this 'work' might be usefull in 'distance to nearest .... [bus stop, post box, etc]' maps/datasets.
