R5 Versions Save

Developed to power Conveyal's web-based interface for scenario planning and land-use/transport accessibility analysis, R5 is our routing engine for multimodal (transit/bike/walk/car) networks with a particular focus on public transit

v7.0

5 months ago
  • Adds time-to-nearest nth facility ("dual" accessibility) metrics as an experimental feature (#884). See "guides" section of Conveyal documentation for details.
  • Provides more regular and detailed updates on regional analysis progress, helping keep cloud workers active when analyses are queued up (#874).
  • Shifts travel time sampling points to better correspond with destination densities (#894). This change will alter results relative to past versions of the R5 routing engine. With related user interface changes, older versions of R5 will now result in slightly offset isochrones.
  • Ensures that results are readily comparable within the web interface when regional analysis bounds are reused in a subsequent analysis (#897, #898)
  • Improves shapefile upload and validation (#868, #872). Geojson uploads are coming soon.
  • Improves GTFS upload and validation (#869, #870, #873).
  • Updates R5 to use the latest Java LTS version (21), ensuring security and stability updates over the long term.

While APIs exposed by this version have not changed significantly, we have incremented the major version number to reflect the following changes:

  • Network files created with this version are incompatible with previous versions due to new bounding box objects
  • Travel time and accessibility results will be slightly different due to destination sample point changes
  • We have shifted to a new build and runtime environment (new JDK/JRE LTS version)

v6.6

  • Tolerate large GTFS geographic extents
  • Accept extended GTFS route_types
  • Improve fault injection for testing
  • Eliminate log noise in deleted or retried regional analyses (#766)
  • Stricter validation of UUID/ObjectId parameters
  • Better error messages on parameter checks

v6.5

2 years ago

This release makes it easier to:

  • Group modifications into different combinations, using a new tabular scenario editor
  • Create aggregation areas with better progress reporting and validation, using the new Data Sources panel. In an upcoming release, this panel will also handle spatial datasets for custom origins, destinations, and modifications.
  • Save and Undo changes to modifications.
  • Inspect travel times to specific destinations, with the improved destination marker (click in the travel time legend)
  • Avoid certain timing errors on connections experiencing high latency to our central servers.

v6.4

2 years ago
  • Ensure backward compatibility with GTFS database files built with previous versions of R5

v6.3

2 years ago
  • Detailed status and validation messages for GTFS and OSM upload
  • Reduced computation time for large regional analyses with complex transit patterns
  • Better handling of trips on the same route scheduled to overtake each other
