growbikenet 0.9.0

BikeNetKit Python package to grow urban bicycle networks

Bike Net Kit / Grow Bike Net

The Python package growbikenet grows an urban bicycle network from scratch or from an existing bicycle network.

The software downloads and pre-processes data from OpenStreetMap, prepares seed points to connect, runs simulations, saves the results, creates plots and videos. The source code builds on the code from the research paper Growing Urban Bicycle Networks and on the code from the research paper Data-driven micromobility network planning for demand and safety.
