nsr2osm

Extracts public transportation stops from the Norwegian National Stop Register (NSR) at Entur

Usage

nsr2osm

python nsr2osm.py

• This program is used for updating bus stops and bus stations (only) after the initial import
  • Creates nsr_update.osm file with updated stop places which may be uploaded to OSM
  • Creates nsr_update_log.txt file with log of modifications done to OSM file
  • Only bus stops and stations where nsr2osm did the last edit in OSM are updated
  • If edited by someone else in OSM, the NSR stop place is included as a reference (if location differs by 1 meter or more, or if the NSR tags name, ref etc have been modified)
• Examples of useful searches in JOSM:
  • new -NSR_REFERENCE - New stop places to be uploaded
  • modified -new -NSR_REFERENCE - Modified stop places to be uploaded
  • DELETE - Stop places to be deleted (manual deletion in JOSM)
  • EDIT > 2019-03-30 - Stop places edited by a user other than the import user nsr2osm after given date. Contains tags with distance moved from NSR position (if any) and name in NSR (if different than name given by user)
  • OTHER > 2010 - Stop places not in NSR with last edit after given date
  • NSR_REFERENCE - Stop places in NSR which have been edited by a user other than the import user nsr2osm. Note that a search for EDIT is usually better.
• Uploading:
  • Before uploading you may want to use the Download parent ways and relations function in JOSM to avoid conflicts
  • Use Upload selection or Purge functions in JOSM to avoid uploading all elements to JOSM
  • Please remember to remove the extra information tags in capital letters before uploading to OSM

nsr2osm_dump

python nsr2osm_dump.py [county]

• This program is used for generating a complete OSM file from the NSR NeTEx files, for the initial import or later inspection
• Creates nsr_current.osm file with all stop places in Norway, or for given county
• Use name of county to produce OSM file for that county, e.g. "Vestfold"
• Use "Norge" to produce OSM file for the whole country

Notes

• Import plan: Bus stop import Norway
• Generated files: OSM files
