NxTransit 0.1.19

Construct and analyze time-dependent transit networks from GTFS data

NxTransit

NxTransit is a Python package designed for creating and analyzing a multimodal graph representation of a city's transit system. It uses General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data to construct the graph and perform various time-dependent calculations.

See the documentation for more information.

Key Features

Multimodal Graph Creation

NxTransit integrates transit data with OpenStreetMap (OSM) data to create a multimodal graph representing urban transit system.

Time-Dependent Calculations

The package enables the detailed analysis of transit systems by incorporating time-dependent nature of public transportation. This includes:

• GTFS feed validation.
• Calculating shortest paths with specific departure times.
• Generating travel time matrices to evaluate travel durations between multiple network points.
• Calculation of service areas and "typical" service areas.
• Frequency analysis.
• More features are planned for future updates.

GTFS Data Support

NxTransit utilizes GTFS data, a common format for public transportation schedules and geographic information.

Installation

pip install NxTransit
