I have tried to calculate Isochrones in 500m walking distance along paths around planned subway stations with pgrouting.
For the setup I used an OSM-road.shp clipped to the borders of Vienna and a point shp. with the 14 stations which I want to analyse.
I worked my way through several tutorial since I am new to pgrouting for setting up a street-network and finding the closest nodes from the stations.
So far so good…but when I to calculate the isochrones with pgr_DrivingDistance the output shows very few results.
Either I set up the network wrong or I have been using the DrivingDistance function wrong. It seems like the function is not able to use every path.
How do I improve the query?
