Interested in public transit 🚌🚅⛴️ data and software development? Check out the gtfs_manager project, a prototype desktop application written in #rustlang by @maxunsted, to explore and even edit your GTFS files 🎉 A short thread... Image
The project is now at MVP prototype stage and is looking for people to test it out, provide feedback, and get involved. See post on @rustlang Reddit here: reddit.com/r/rust/comment… for details.
The code underlying the project is #OpenSource and can be found on @github. It's in many ways a @foss4g + #gischat project but focus is on user experience. Check the video there + install with:
cargo install --git github.com/spstreets/gtfs…
In terms of background, this was part of a wider project funded by the World Bank that had input from @fred_r_ramos, Ciro Biderman, @CarlinoDustin and many others. We hope it forms the basis of new #gtfs exploring/editing tools for more evidence-based and participatory planning.
Exciting update on this: someone (thank you Jean Simard : ) has managed to get #gtfs_manager working for Paris 🚀
To see details + test + communicate on your own GTFS datasets (🙏 1st question, does it work?), see here: github.com/spstreets/gtfs… #gischat from first principles! Image

Stoked to announce that the new #openaccess paper "Open source tools for geographic analysis in transport planning" has just been published 🎉

Paper: doi.org/10.1007/s10109…
Code: github.com/Robinlovelace/…
My first ever solo-authored paper! Image
It discusses the landscape of free and open tools/software for working with geographic transport datasets (thanks everyone who helped crowd-source this list). link.springer.com/article/10.100… Image
It shows that the 'ecosystem' of free and open source software for transport planning is maturing, with tools that can support every stage in the transport planning process. Image

Where should 'pop-up' cycleways go? We analysed data for 10 cities, 4 of which are shown below, finding that there are 'spare lanes' near city centres in all of them.

Results + interactive maps: cyipt.github.io/tempCycleways/

More: below...
Interpreting the results (this is a starter for 10 where there is excess road space, many other options exist): github.com/cyipt/tempCycl…
