Results
(2013-08-08) - am trying to follow instructions of OTP's https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner/wiki/Batch-Analyst mode to see how good its capabilities are in this area. This seems to require installing and setting up a development environment for the project, based on Eclipse.
The other main option would seem to be using the Open Source Accessibility Toolkit code which seems to include OD routing capability by centroid of traffic zones. However this is probably not updated to work with the latest OTP. It does include some nice visualisation capabilities though, if we want to calculate things like modal accessibility difference between PT and car.
