Using own street network instead of OSM

openrouteservice isochrones
1

Hey everyone,

i am using the Isochrone function (pedestrian-walking, by distance) for examining walkability and would to see how new paths and street connections would change walking ranges. Is there any possibility for the program to access and calculate isochrones using my own street network map instead of OpenStreetMap?
Thanks for any help!

He@,

this should possible, if you provide your own street network map in one of the formats that the openrouteservice is able to read, most conveniently the OSM pbf format, and with tags the openrouteservice can work with.

I think what would work quite nicely is using an existing OSM export as a base, adding paths and streets to that (following usual and realistic tagging schemes) and exporting to a .osm.pbf-file.

Best regards

Hey,
thanks for the response and the help!
So when I have my map in the required format, do I just need to have it loaded as basemap in QGIS for the plugin to recognise it as the current street network? Or do I need to clarify somewhere else that the program should use a different path network?

Hey,

no, you will have to set up your own openrouteservice instance with the new map to use it.
You can point the ors QGIS plugin to your own instance then, to use it in QGIS.

Best regards
