opening_hours-statistics

Simple visualization of the opening_hours values in OpenStreetMap. The purpose of this statistic is to show the data quality and grow over time. Because of this, the library version which parses the opening_hours is pinned to v3.0.0.

Generating stats for your own region

Via Overpass it is possible to generate statistics for arbitrary boundaries. The thing is that the downloading from the Overpass API takes it‘s time. Currently the cronjobs are running from 21:00 till 11:00 because of the low load during that time on overpass-api.de.

Steps to add new boundaries:

git clone https://github.com/opening-hours/opening_hours.js.git
pushd opening_hours.js
git checkout v3.0.0 -- opening_hours.js test.js test.log
editor stats_for_boundaries.txt # Add your boundary. Checkout the Makefile for details. If you are generating stats on your own then you can comment out all other boundaries because they will be generated by ypid.
# Run one of the Makefile targets like: osm-tag-data-gen-stats-cron-overpass. Be sure to read and understand the Makefile before you do.
popd
git clone https://github.com/ypid/opening_hours-statistics.git
pushd opening_hours-statistics
editor index.html # Change the location of stats_csv_source and add a mapping to boundary_to_name_mapping.
popd
# Serve it by your favorite web server.

Please note that the section to setup your own stats with your own boundaries is mainly to document it for the curious people. See a question about this in the German OSM Forum.

Note that I currently only accept pull requests for country boundaries or state boundaries. I am not sure if it is worth it to add little regions yet.

Internals

• The data is downloaded once a day from taginfo and then parsed with opening_hours.js (see real_test.js which exports the csv files).

• April 2015 Overpass API support has been added which allows to import history data.

• Jobs for generating the latest statistics are scheduled every night on gauss.openstreetmap.de. See the Makefile for details.

For visualization the flot and the d3 library are used.

You are encouraged to generate your own stats. Here is the data:
