Hospital Accessibility Map Exporter

A modular solution for exporting maps from the Beer Sheva Hospital Accessibility Analysis tool. This README contains comprehensive instructions for setting up the analysis tool and using the export functionality.

System Requirements

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• Python (for local web server)
• OpenTripPlanner (OTP) server (for routing analysis)

Setup Instructions (Three Terminal Windows)

This locally hosted application requires running three separate processes simultaneously, each in its own terminal window:

1. OpenTripPlanner (OTP) Server - For routing calculations
2. Export Server - For image and HTML generation
3. Local Web Server - To serve your HTML application

Quick Start Guide

Terminal 1: Start the OTP Server

# Navigate to the OTP directory
cd /Users/noamgal/Downloads/NUR/otp_project

# Run the OTP server
java -Xmx8G -jar otp-2.5.0-shaded.jar --load --serve graphs

Terminal 2: Start the Export Server

# Navigate to the export server directory
cd map-export-server

# Install dependencies (first time only)
npm install

# Start the server
npm start

Terminal 3: Start the Local Web Server

# Navigate to the directory containing your HTML file
cd hospital-analysis

# Start a Python web server
python -m http.server 8000

Access Your Application

Open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:8000/hosp_access.html

Export Functionality

The system now supports two export formats:

1. Image Export (PNG) - For static image exports including all analysis points
2. Interactive HTML Export - For interactive visualization with all functionality

Using the Export Feature

1. Run the analysis by clicking "Run Analysis"
2. Once complete, go to the "Export" tab
3. Choose your preferred export format:
   • "Export as PNG" for a static image
   • "Export as Interactive HTML" for a fully interactive version
4. Customize the title and subtitle if needed
5. Click the export button and wait for the download

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Missing analysis points in export: Make sure to complete the analysis before exporting
• Browser freezes during export: Large analyses may take time to process
• "CORS error" in console: Make sure all three servers are running

Verifying Server Status

• OTP Server: http://localhost:8080
• Export Server: http://localhost:3000
• Local Web Server: http://localhost:8000

If any of these URLs don't load, that server isn't running correctly.
