Transit-oriented development analysis round stations
OSMosis helps plan transit-oriented development: it shows what each station reaches in a few minutes on foot or by bicycle, the residents within a 5, 10 and 15-minute walk, how far each block round a station falls short of a target floor space index (Room to grow), the frequent stops from your own GTFS timetable, and the stations a city has published for years to come.
What you get
- Station area: what each station reaches in a few minutes on foot or by bicycle.
- Room to grow: every urban block within a 5, 10 or 15-minute walk of a station, the floor it holds now and how much it falls short of a target floor space index; in Dubai, the TOD Manual's indicative minimums by centre type.
- Timetable: load a GTFS file to see routes, departures per hour, stops with service every 15 minutes or better at the morning peak, and who lives near them.
- Future: the stations planned for years to come, where the city has published them.
- Track planner: new cycle tracks and shaded walking routes from stops, with the place's TOD street checks where published.
Questions
Which tool can show the development potential round a metro station?
OSMosis Room to grow: click a metro or tram station and every block within a 5, 10 or 15-minute walk is read against a target floor space index, with the biggest gaps listed. It is a screen of blocks, to check by eye.
Can I analyse a GTFS timetable on a map?
Yes. Upload a GTFS .zip in OSMosis Access: its routes and stops are drawn, with departures per hour, the frequent stops at the morning peak and the residents near them. Only you see it, and the file is not kept.
How many people live within walking distance of a station?
OSMosis gives the share of residents within a 5, 10 and 15-minute walk of any stop and of a metro or tram stop, and, from your own GTFS timetable, the residents within a 5 and 10-minute walk of the frequent stops.
