Open Source Tools for transport planning
00:00 First, News Roundup from around the country, with occasional international updates.
11:13 Dustin Carlino demonstrates a collection of amazing open source tools for anyone to use in planning, simulating and communicating changes to streets and neighbourhoods, some current, some in development now. Ever been stuck in traffic on a bus, wondering why is there legal street parking instead of a dedicated bus lane? A/B Street is a project to plan, simulate, and communicate visions for making cities friendlier to people walking, biking, and taking public transit. We create software to simulate traffic, edit streets and intersections, plan bike networks, create low-traffic neighborhoods, and educate the public about 15-minute neighborhoods through games. The project works anywhere in the world, thanks to OpenStreetMap.
