distmap

Welcome to the distmap backend repository.

Distmap is a tool to visualize travel time from one location to a whole area using a heatmap.

Distmap was created by the distmap working group during the "Smart City Braunschweig" Hackathon 2018.

Be warned: This is a only a mockup and does not contain much useful things.

What you need

This project consists of three parts:

• backend (this repo)
• frontend https://github.com/SmithChart/distmap-frontend
• documentation

How to run the backend

You need to have an osm map next to your main.py:

wget https://overpass-api.de/api/map?bbox=10.4320,52.2083,10.6717,52.3066 -O map

Afterwards you can install the python3-dependencies and run the server:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate 
pip install -r requirements-backend.txt
./main.py
