The installer uses curl for OSX compatibility. It should check for the presence of wget or curl before grumbling to install one/other.

There are open source Geocoding options available; however, they're not tolerant of typos. If we stick with PostGIS it has functionality to facilitate this.

My thinking is for typos in street names we can simply correct this by querying the street names.

I have JavaScript code that can roughly determine the different parts of addresses.

I'm thinking we can stick with Google for a while and perhaps log the queries temporarily and run them back with whatever solution we decide and compare the accuracy.

If the system locale is not set gradle cannot be installed.

OSRM routes 1000x faster than pgrouting. It is very lightweight and was able to handle 200 concurrent connections on modest hardware without breaking a sweat. It installs without issue and imports files quickly.

That being said, it's easier to use than pgrouting, with only one gotcha:

OSRM doesn't support costs/weights right now; but it does support speed and routing by road type and one-way/turn restrictions.

Until they support LUA-based weight/costs (planned feature), I think the following solution should work:

By assigning walkable road types a new psuedo-road type based on safety we can trick the routing engine into routing by safest route.

Each psuedo-road type can have a speed assigned to it. We'll make the safest ones have the lowest speed and prefer the lowest speed (as the "foot" routing profile already does).

I'd like to have Walking, Public Transportation, Driving and Biking modes of travel.

I'll be reaching out to SEPTA for any relevant data.

I'd like to dig through the crime statistics and see if there's anyway we can weight the cost of each crime differently depending on the mode of transportation we're routing for.

Does anyone else have any ideas for ways we can connect the data?

Here are some not fleshed-out ideas:

Bikes:
Bike thefts, bikes being struck in MVC, hit and runs, bike racks, bike lanes, width of roads, sidewalks (in municipalities where riding your bike on sidewalks is legal).

Driving:
MVC, car jacking, (It'd be cool to find safe places to park!)

Public transportation:
Cost (literally), hours of operation for entrances [many ways into the MFL are closed during certain hours, it'd be disappointing to route people there], not picking the closest station, but the safest.

Foot notes:
MVC = Motor Vehicle Collisions, I wrote it that way because it may appear that way in the police reports

If GDAL was installed on a previous version of OSX the python libraries included in the in the GDAL package are removed.

The installer needs to check not only for the existence of GDAL but the presence of the python modules.

This bug may occur when upgrading from any version of OSX to a later release that includes a newer version of Python.

Documentation and a shell script to set up everything you need to run SafestWay in addition to some ETL scripts for importing common data types.

I want to give any other cities or groups the "keys" to set this up elsewhere.

That being said, any notes you keep on data sources, the license for those data and how you loaded them in are really helpful moving forward.
