Research Request - Speedmap segments for GTFS analytics monthly pipeline

[tiffanychu90]

Complete the below when receiving a research request, and continue to add to this issue as you receive additional details and produce deliverables. Be sure to also add the appropriate project-level label to this issue (eg gtfs-rt, DLA).

Research Question

Single sentence description: Work speedmap segments (1,000 meters) into the same nearest neighbor pipeline as stop segments.

• Fold in the work done in these 2 PRs
  • Interpolated segments for rt_segment_speeds #1084
  • add 2 notebooks testing out interpolated segments with nearest neighbor #1086
• Test a single date, look at results in a map
• Make sure this part of the pipeline works seamlessly in a monthly run
• Backfill the previous dates

Deliverables

• add speedmap variables into gtfs_analytics_data.yml
• similar to how stop_segments and rt_stop_times are set up, we need a pipe_speedmap.py script
• add an averaging script that gets the processed data for mapping
• edit existing Mermaid diagram to include speedmaps

@edasmalchi: Can you take a look at this trip-segment speeds dataset and these datasets that have been averaged. Available dates are rt_dates.DATES["mar2024"] or rt_dates.DATES["apr2024"]

@tiffanychu90 yes! will dig into it starting Tuesday. Thanks for your work on this 🙂
