Routing & Paths

The Routing & Paths panel computes shortest paths, K alternative routes, and many-to-many batch routing across the network.

Note

Requires an active OSMnx graph. Travel-time weighting requires travel times from Network Attributes.

Source & Target Nodes

Control Description
Source / Target Path endpoints. The eyedropper buttons pick nodes directly in the viewport.
Minimize Weight to optimize: length, travel time, or elevation impedance.
Alpha Elevation-impedance strength (only shown for that weight).

Shortest Path

Control Description
Calculate Path Computes the path and reports distance, node/edge counts, and travel time.
Summarize Adds route rise and mean absolute grade.
Elevation Profile Builds a profile curve of the route.

K Alternative Routes

Control Description
K Number of alternative routes to compute.
Compute K Alternatives Computes the K shortest distinct routes.

Batch (Many-to-Many)

Control Description
Random OD Pairs Number of random origin–destination pairs to route.
CPU Cores (0=auto) Parallel workers for the batch.
Run Batch Routing Routes all pairs; reports the reached fraction and mean distance.
