We completed a transit access analysis using transportation analysis zones and travel time via public transit between zones across Baltimore City and County, MD. We determined the number of healthy food stores, or supermarkets, and employment opportunities accessible from a particular origin zone for all zones in the metropolitan area.
We used the command
python full-analysis.py taz.sqlite 30
to generate an analysis based on a 30-minute travel window and
python full-analysis.py taz.sqlite 45
to generate results based on a 45-minute travel window. Both taz.sqlite and time.sqlite need to be in the script directory for the analysis to be completed. Similar analyses for other cities (that use this script) would need equivalent data tables in the SQLite format.
