Collaborations

We're working with a few different groups on projects using A/B Street.

GLT

Active as of Sept 2020

Green Lights Trading is applying dynamic congestion caps to encourage drivers to find alternate routes, not drive during rush hour, or take public transit instead. I'm actively implementing a proof-of-concept in A/B Street. It could also be used to explore ideas like a downtown congestion charging zone for Seattle.

Xi'an

Active as of Sept 2020

A group (with their own demand data!) is studying traffic signal optimization in Xi'an. They're using the API.

Forecasting group

Active as of Sept 2020

A research group is making a bunch of live map edits and scheduling new trips in the middle of a simulation and using their system to try to predict system-wide effects. They're also using the API.

CityEngine

Stalled as of Sept 2020

Edits in A/B Street could be exported to the shared-row format, then rendered in 3D using ArcGIS CityEngine. Not blocked on us.

Berlin

Stalled as of Sept 2020

A group wants to use A/B Street for various public engagement projects in Berlin. Mostly blocked on getting a reasonable travel demand model.

Manchester

Stalled as of Sept 2020

A group tentatively wants to engage the public about preventing rat runs and making no-through-access zones in Manchester suburbs. Not really blocked on us yet.

Pandemic model

Stalled as of Sept 2020

A group from the Uni of Geneva started a COVID-19 model that figures out how long people spend in shared indoor spaces.
