Per our LinkedIn conversation, the function assumes you are using a file that has end to end connectivity. This means all edges that must connect, must share an end point. Pandana's native OSM importer uses OSRM to establish this connectivity, where as my function assumes you are working from a file that does this ahead of time.
Some notes:

• Be careful not to planarize segments that are on highways, bridges, ramps etc. You have to check that directly.
• Check that the impedance are similar between similar edges in OSM or your network. It might be edge "cost" related.

David,

I solved this connectivity problem with graph_from_polygon method from OSMnx. It need some tinkering to get the network from every polygon, But it saved me from the connection verification.

I will leave the link here for future reference.

Hi @fillipefeitosa,

I am glad that worked! Can you share back with me how you used it to create a panda network from OSMnx? I want to try to see if I can recreate the nodes in a similar fashion or at least as an option.

Hey David!

Hope everything is all right you with and your family. Things got kinda crazy here with covid pandemic.

The class I refer above is this:

First I get the municipalities from a shapefile using dissolve.
After getting the network using OSMnx, I save the shp file on a temporary folder and convert it to pandanas using your code.
Slicing the entire country in smaller chunks and using multiprocessing, it was possible to create pandana networks for the entire country. For later use, just load the correspondent HDF5

    else:
        # Load and Convert Shapefile
        save_path = './data/networks/'+desired_network

This makes sense! Thanks for sharing. I think I need to make a version just to take osmnx edges, but that should be straight forward.
