Have we mentioned how fast #r5rstats is? A Recent paper by @higgicd et al (https://t.co/KIVqzx9dpA) shows that r5r can be much faster than other multimodal routing models 🚀 and it is the only that can handle really large travel-time matrices 🏋️♂️. Kudos to R5 from @conveyal !
Access and equity are trending topics in transport policy. For example, the US Department of Transportation received hundreds of public responses to a recent RFI 📝📝📝
We just published our summary of these responses and a few additional considerations: https://t.co/gY9Q8CGKjf
Only 3 days to go until our presentation in Session 1A at #WSTLUR
Half-head(way) there: Comparing two methods to account for waiting time in public transit sketch planning
Here's a sneak preview.
"The idea of transit access isn’t new, but our ability to put a useful number on it is."
Conveyal makes it easier than ever to calculate and visualize transit access — # of jobs, amenities, and services reachable by 🚍🚇🚆

Are you ready for a new era at @USDOT, increasing focus on access to opportunities by 🚌🚇🚶♂️🚲?
Conveyal makes it easy to evaluate transportation and land-use scenarios, with best-practice measures of multi-modal access. Check out our new website for more https://t.co/kC5w9NFGfr
Want to try access to opportunities indicators that don't rely on fixed travel-time cutoffs?
The latest Conveyal release makes it easy to apply different decay functions, unlocking gravity-type accessibility indicators. Learn more in our new user manual:

Our latest blog post is all about isochrones! Learn more about how isochrones are shaping conversations about transit. Also, we've got two awesome demo websites that visualize accessibility changes after transit improvements! https://t.co/YGQXVgVkOc
@NoelDeMartin Git is a distributed system by design, which no one controls. You don't need blockchain to create decentralized systems. Maybe my irony detector is not working.
We created an interactive site to explore the accessibility of Olympics venues in Tokyo, and it just won an award in the Open Data Challenge for Public Transportation!

@ThomasG77 R5 development was driven by our need for an optimized routing component to run on the worker nodes of the Conveyal Analysis accessibility analysis system. It has so far been an internal project but could eventually make its way into #OpenTripPlanner.
Looking forward to a good #transpo18 debate today on using measures of access to opportunity to prioritize public transit investments.
Also, getting to show the latest updates to @Conveyal Analysis!
