SharedStreets Mobility Metrics is an open source server and frontend for ingestion and analysis of MDS mobility data. It is capable of reading raw MDS data in memory and aggregating useful & privacy-protecting metrics for longterm storage and analysis.

• OSX or Linux (Support for Windows coming soon via docker)
• Node.js v11
• Valid MDS credentials for at least one live MDS Provider API

Serves a dashboard for viewing and exporting metrics

Returns a daily summary of all statistics for a provider. This endpoint powers the builtin dashboard, and can be used for custom reporting and modeling.

Setup project and install dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/sharedstreets/sharedstreets-mobility-metrics.git
cd sharedstreets-mobility-metrics
npm install

A config.json file is required to run Mobility Metrics. Enable providers and set credentials through this file. This file is used to store access tokens - handle with care. See config.template.json for a starter config.

Run a script to backfill a datastore of metrics. Configure this command in cron for automated daily imports.

# --day = target backfill date in YYYY-MM-DD format
# --days = number of days prior to target to also backfill
node src/backfill.js --day 2018-11-10 --days 1;

Runs a server that is capable of powering the JSON API and UI. (localhost:5000 by default)

npm start

Run a comprehensive test suite across the project. Auto-formats code using linter. (Note: tests provider endpoints, and requires config with up to date credentials)

npm test

Runs a linter, prettier, and auto-formats code to meet consistent style, while checking for syntax errors.

npm run lint
