NxTransit

tests Documentation Status PyPI - Python Version

NxTransit is a Python library designed to build and analyze multimodal graphs of urban transit systems using General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data. This tool allows for detailed, time-sensitive analysis of public transit accesibility.

See the documentation for more information.

Key Features

Multimodal Graph Creation

NxTransit integrates GTFS with OpenStreetMap (OSM) data to create a multimodal graph representing an 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.
  • Shortest path calculations with time-specific departures.
  • Generating travel time matrices to evaluate travel durations between multiple network points.
  • Service area and "typical" service analysis.
  • 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
