This repository contains accompanying code for the paper "Isochrone-based catchment areas for educational planning" (https://at.iiep.unesco.org/travel-time), created by the Development Unit at IIEP-UNESCO. Versions in Jupyter Notebook for Windows and Ubuntu are available. The code presented in this repository corresponds to a stand-alone version of the Graphhopper engine, to calculate isochrones using Python and Java using your local machine. For information on the QGIS plugin (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/Catchment/) presented on the paper, go to the corresponding repository (https://github.com/iiepdev/school-catchment-plugin)
