This will run the process with 8GB of RAM. It is not necessary to provide more RAM, and the process will likely run with much less. Expect the entire process to take about 2 hours for a major metropolitan area.
time node --max-old-space-size=8192 index.jsThe output format is the standard OSRM csv format for traffic profiles described here. There is one profile per day of week and hour of day, 0 indexed. For example, Sunday at midnight is described in the profile 0-0, whereas the Tuesday noon profile is described in 2-12. OSRM is designed to load exactly one profile at a time, so for ETA or isochrone analysis, you would cycle through your times of interest, loading a new profile after each batch.
To demonstrate how these profiles can be used, a demo script is provided, called demo.js. This demo assumes you have downloaded and processed profiles for San Francisco, CA. The script will load each profile in succession, use OSRM to generate a predicted ETA for each control route, then output the data into a set of charts. These charts show how congestion changes over the course of a typical week across routes of interest.
