'Transport modes/profiles in PTV developer Distance matrix API
I was planning to use PTV Developer API to calculate a distance matrix using something more sophisticated than a Manhattan distance. However looking at the Routing Matrix API reference I see only references to profiles for vehicles (no bikes, no pedestrians). Does this mean I'm going to get non-optimum routing for pedestrians (e.g. inability to go against a one-way street for vehicles to shorten a route)? Disappointing if it is the case as I had hoped for a replacement for Google API ...

The PTV Developer API does not offer a pedestrian profile for matrix routing as there must be a precalculated search graph for each profile which contains the distances for all network segments. This would not really make sense in a global context but only in a city. But search graphs can only be precalculated for the complete map and not a single city. The Routing API does contain the pedestrian profile so maybe you can work around this by using the regular routing API and calculate multiple routes for your matrix.
