Match traffic counts from city-managed GIS road network to travel model counts run with an OSM-based network

[josiekre]

Based on my interpretation, this matcher handles GPS traces and matches (via routing) them to OSM references. I can extrapolate logic and guess at how the same algo could be used to match traffic counts (e.g. 10,298 annual average daily traffic), which are attributed to links on a city-maintained GIS road network, to OSM-based SharedStreets reference IDs.

I am considering forking this repo to attempt to handle this case. We have a real-world set of data to work with from the MPO in Philadephia and modeled traffic volumes in the same area from CityCast (see also this blog), which can run with either an OSM network or a HERE network.

What do you think of this? Am I missing something from the get-go? Is there a better place to try to implement this kind of matching?
