Learn how to model and visualise access to services using open, multimodal and network-based routing techniques. This hands-on workshop demonstrates an end-to-end workflow for generating travel-time catchments and analysing spatial accessibility using open-source geospatial tools.
This workshop introduces a practical, open-source workflow for calculating access to services using a combination of multimodal and custom network-based routing approaches.
Participants will learn how to prepare network data, generate travel-time catchments, and visualise accessibility to services. The session highlights the conceptual and practical differences between graph-based and multimodal routing techniques, and how each can be applied to support spatial planning and policy analysis.
Designed for a technical audience familiar with Python, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and geospatial data, the workshop aims to equip attendees with the skills to build reproducible, localised accessibility models using open standards and tools.
