GrowBikeNet 0.8.0 documentation¶
The Python package growbikenet grows an urban bicycle network from scratch or from an existing bicycle network. It is hosted on Github, part of BikeNetKit.
The software downloads and pre-processes data from OpenStreetMap, prepares seed points to connect, runs simulations, saves the results, creates plots and videos. The source code builds on the code from the research paper Growing Urban Bicycle Networks and on the code from the research paper Data-driven micromobility network planning for demand and safety.
Setup and use¶
To set up GrowBikeNet, see the Installation page. To use GrowBikeNet, the Getting started page is a good place to start, which also explains how the package works in detail. For technical documentation, consult the User reference.
