Easy-R5 QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Active
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
Transit accessibility analysis with the Conveyal R5 routing engine.
About
Runs the Conveyal R5 routing engine (v7.6, MIT) as a child process to compute one-to-many and many-to-many travel-time matrices, cumulative-opportunity accessibility and travel-time isochrones over a departure-time window, returning styled QGIS layers. R5 and a Temurin 21 JDK are downloaded on first setup — no R, no Docker, no administrator rights. The two population algorithms need openpyxl; its pure-Python wheel is fetched from PyPI (SHA-256 verified, no pip) on first load and every other algorithm runs without it. Setup: DownloadR5 (Temurin 21 JDK + r5-v7.6-all.jar, SHA-256 verified), DownloadRealizedGtfs (archival / realized feeds from GISBoost's gtfs-dashboard index), BuildNetwork (cached network.dat + network.json with per-date active trip counts). Diagnostics: TestR5Setup, CheckTransitData. Analysis: RunTravelTimeMatrix, RunAccessibility, RunServiceMinutes, RunCompetitiveAccessibility (2SFCA), SummarizeAccessibilityEquity, GenerateIsochrones, PreparePopulationLayer, PopulationOverlay. Scenarios: BuildScenario (new lines, removed / re-timed routes, applied by R5 in memory), CompareScenarios.
