Quickly generate isochrones for Python and Rust!

This library provides a set of tools for generating isochrones and reverse isochrones from geographic coordinates. It leverages OpenStreetMap data to construct road networks and calculate areas accessible within specified time limits. The library is designed for both Rust and Python, offering high performance and easy integration into data science workflows.

• Graph Construction: Parses OpenStreetMap data to construct a graph representing the road network.
• Isochrone Calculation: Generates isochrones, areas reachable within a given time frame from a start point, using Dijkstra's algorithm.
• Reverse Isochrone Calculation: Determines areas from which a point can be reached within a given time frame.
• Concave and Convex Hulls: Supports generating both concave and convex hulls around isochrones for more accurate or simplified geographical shapes.
• Caching: Implements caching mechanisms to store and retrieve pre-calculated graphs for faster access. Python Integration: Offers Python bindings to use the library's functionalities directly in Python scripts, notebooks, and applications.
• Concurrency Support: Utilizes Rust's concurrency features for efficient isochrone calculation over large datasets.
• GeoJSON Output: Converts isochrones into GeoJSON format for easy visualization and integration with mapping tools.

To use the library in Rust, add it to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
osm-graph = "0.1.0"

For Python,

pip install pysochrone

Or, ensure you have Rust and maturin installed, then build and install the Python package:

maturin develop

Rust

use osm_graph::{calculate_isochrones_from_point, HullType};

async fn main() {
    let isochrone = isochrone::calculate_isochrones_from_point(
        48.123456,
        11.123456,
        10_000.0,
        vec![300.0, 600.0, 900.0, 1_200.0, 1_500.0, 1_800.0],
        overpass::NetworkType::Drive,
        isochrone::HullType::Convex,
    )
    .await
    .unwrap();
}

Python

import pysochrone

isochrones = pysochrone.calc_isochrones(
    48.123456, 
    11.123456, 
    5000, 
    [600, 1200, 1800], 
    "Drive", 
    "Convex"
)
