School Accessibility

To carry out an accessibility analysis, information on the full road network in Brighton and Hove is required. This was obtained from Open Street Map using the osmextract package in R.

The r5r package - https://ipeagit.github.io/r5r/ - was used to calculate the travel times between all of the postcodes and Schools in Brighton and Hove by foot and/or bus (whichever was quicker)

Bus times were estimated from the Brighton and Hove Buses GTFS feed (all published stops and times for 01-12-2022) - This date was chosen as a term-time date and, more importantly, was a file I could actually get r5r to read properly! https://www.buses.co.uk/open-data

Note the the travel time for Longhill is earlier than all the other schools as it starts earlier due to its bus situation. Buses that run to the school at this time are captured in these travel times.

If you want to download the data for these maps, the csv with all the data combined can be downloaded from here:
