safety-road-mapping 0.1.4

Module to generate a safety score for brazilian roads.

General Instructions

Generating API token

This project uses openrouteservice API to plot maps and routes. So the following steps are necessary at first:

1. Sign up on openrouteservice.org to generate an API token;
2. Create a .env file with the following content: TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the token generated in the step before;

Accident road data

The accidents data used were extracted from the Polícia Rodoviária Federal website. The notebook get_data.ipynb inside safety_road_mapping/notebooks folder is responsible to download and extract the data used. If you want to directly download the files you can click here.

Roadmap

• The accidents data used comes just from federal police source, so there are some routes that don't receive score because they are state highways.
• The routes subsections are not connected, once they are plotted individually in the map. Visually it can be interesting to connect them. (Is it possible or necessary?)
