How can car traffic in cities be reduced? New research by CSH's @rafaelprietocuriel.bsky.social shows that while metros are effective in reducing car traffic, a study of nearly 400 European cities finds no evidence that trams have the same effect: csh.ac.at/news/metros-...
Metros Cut Car Use In European Cities – Trams Fall Short
People drive significantly less in European cities with a metro system than in cities that only have trams or no rail-based public transport at all.

New R package: gridmappr by Roger Beecham

It automates creating small multiple gridmap layouts by optimally placing geographic points into grid cells (inspired by Jo Wood’s Observable notebooks).

Computing travel time matrices in r⁵py from #geopandas #DataFrame is two lines of code:

(1) create an r5py.TransportNetwork from @openstreetmap.bsky.social and #GTFS data

(2) turn it into an r5py.TravelTimeMatrix()

Try it out in #binder: r5py.readthedocs.io/stable/user-...

Mayor of Paris: "Our streets are gradually being reintroduced to residents, new trees are being planted, and walks are being made easier and safer."
Notre ville change ! Nos rues sont peu à peu rendues aux habitants, de nouveaux arbres sont plantés et les promenades facilitées et sécurisées.

C'est le cas de la rue Chaptal dans le 9e ou celle du Docteur-Lecène dans le 13e !

The Geocomputation with Python #opensource book project just got an upgrade, with Python 3.12 now the default in the devcontainer.

You can launch a full dev environment directly from your browser with GitHub Codespaces. Give it a try here: github.com/codespaces/n...

For the first time in four decades, a new algorithm has improved upon the speed limit for calculating the fastest route to every point in a network. @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social‬ reports: www.quantamagazine.org/new-method-i...
New Method Is the Fastest Way To Find the Best Routes | Quanta Magazine
A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.

Here's an ad that Google Opal created for #rstats #spanishoddata ropenspain.github.io/spanishoddata/ The flows map in the end is not so good, but the overall idea of the package is represented quite well. Quickly get OD flows from Spanish big open human mobility data.
