FixBikeNet |version| documentation
===================================

The Python package ``fixbikenet`` identifies the most important gaps to fill in a city's bicycle network. It is hosted on `Github <https://github.com/BikeNetKit/FixBikeNet>`__, part of `BikeNetKit <https://bikenetkit.org>`__.

The software downloads and pre-processes data from OpenStreetMap, identifies the gaps, saves the results, creates plots and videos. The source code builds on `the code from the
research paper <https://github.com/anastassiavybornova/bikenwgaps>`__ *Automated Detection of Missing Links in Bicycle Networks*.
