Need some help

Posted by Emma G on 29 December 2018 in English.

Hello everybody,

I’m sorry because I’m not sure here’s the right place to ask this question but I’m trying to modelize a road network on my computer for a project and I don’t know how to use OpenStreetMap data to do that (or even if it’s possible). I would like to create a graph with cities as nodes and roads as paths, based on the real road network, but it would be too long to implement that myself (I need a complex graph with a least 10 000 paths) so I would like to use data from somewhere. If someone could help me, I would be very thanksful !

(I’m a French student so I guess my English isn’t perfect…)

Hello Emma.

Your English is fine.

Look at this README.md at github.com. This will not help directly, but will suggest that (1) it can be done, and (2) you will probably need to learn Python to do it.

I’m sure that someone else will chip in with more practical help. As a first step, it would be a good idea to confirm the district that you are thinking of using for this graph.

Hello alexkemp

Thank you for your answer, I will read it more precisely tomorrow, but it’s fine ! (I already know how to program with Python)
