The latest user interface and R5 release (v7.6) from the Conveyal team include:

  • New ways of representing and importing on-demand services
  • Improved transit alignment editing. When editing dwell times and speeds, associated stops/segments are highlighted more clearly on the map. And segment-specific speed or travel time values are now recorded more accurately; previous versions of Conveyal truncated any segment-specific travel times, which may have led transit travel times to be lower than intended.
  • Options to display the baseline network on maps of regional analysis results
  • More resilient regional analysis progress, with regular checks for unexpected shutdown of cloud workers
  • GeoJSON download of additional modification types
  • Additional detail in transit path CSV outputs
  • Updated LODES job and workforce data for regions in the United States

The latest version of Conveyal (including v7.5 of the R5 routing engine):

  • Accelerates map display for completed regional analysis results (#986) and enables custom breaks for color bins
  • Adds the ability to download a combined .zip file of all destination layer, threshold, and travel time percentile combinations for a regional analysis
  • Uses requested walking speed (rather than a hard-coded default) when linking origin and destination points to the street network
  • Improves handling of origins and destinations linked to the same network edge (#980). This change may result in lower accessibility results compared to past versions of R5, especially near long network edges and when using low travel time cutoffs or decay functions.
  • Limits application of custom elevation data to walk and bike modes, not car (#972)
  • Enables new options for sidewalk restrictions, such as prohibiting bicycles or requiring step-free paths (#976).
  • Includes preliminary support for GTFS transfers.txt files

The latest Conveyal routing engine is v7.4. With the latest user interface, this version:

  • Displays interactive freeform origins on the spatial dataset map
  • Enables dual access (time required to reach threshold number of opportunities) for grid origins
  • Improves legibility of regional analysis result maps
  • Updates LODES job and workforce data for regions in the United States
