Welcome to Urban Bench Designs!
If a bench near you has an unusual slat pattern, support profile, or dedication plate, we would enjoy hearing about it. Walking notes and photo comparisons are welcome too, whether from a single street or a longer survey route.

Open source transport network analysis
Thread starterRSS new | Urban Bench Designs — Historical Form
Several people use ArcMap (ArcGis) to run transport network analysis to calculate network distances, travel time matrices, accessibility etc etc. ArcMap is nice but it is also quite expensive $$$. I would like to highlight a few open source alternatives:
Using R:
r5r
dodgr
m4ra
osrm
stplanr
OpenTripPlanner
hereR
Using Python:
r5py
OSMnx
openrouteservice
routingpy
pandana
urbanaccess
AequilibraE
Other languages:
PgRouting
As you see, there are several open source alternatives for running transport network analysis. Mind you that only a few of these tools allow for multimodal routing including public transport, such as r5r, m4ra, OpenTripPlanner, r5py and urbanaccess.
This paper by Christopher Higgins et al. compares the performance and results of a few of these options. It would be great to have a more comprehensive benchmark, though
