The latest Conveyal routing engine is v7.3. This version:

• Smooths regional analysis progress, especially when analyses of many different scenarios and on-street mode combinations are queued up
• Enables advanced network bundle configuration, including options to:
  • Save bike and car-related data tables into built networks, which eliminates subsequent re-calculation of these tables and can substantially reduce computation time for large regional analyses
  • Build modifications into baseline network bundles
  • Test experimental routing rules that force pedestrian routing to use sidewalks
• Updates underlying database libraries, facilitating continued security and stability updates over the coming years

The latest Conveyal routing engine is v7.2. This version:

• Makes bike and car access calculations much faster by skipping some unneeded computation
• Enables special analysis flags for custom or experimental features. Contact your support team for more information.
• Provides new options for CSV path results. With these options, you can specify whether results in CSV files should use ID or name values for GTFS routes and stops. You can also activate a new feedIds column to help parse results for bundles that contain multiple GTFS feeds.

Updated LODES job data

The latest Conveyal routing engine (v7.1) improves the calculation of dual access metrics. These metrics (such as the amount of time needed to reach a threshold of 200 thousand jobs) can now be requested directly in the user interface. This release also makes certain error messages easier to understand, and it makes the latest LODES job and workforce data available for regions in the United States via one-click import.
