๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ from our research project EMMA: โAn Open-Source Modelling Methodology for Multimodal and Intermodal Accessibility Analysis of Workplace Locationsโ, just published in Sustainability: https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/3/1947
We define “auto-independent” workplaces as those that are accessible by multiple modes of transportation: by car, but also with alternatives such as public transport, bicycles, or a combination of them.
During the summer, we had the chance to present EMMA at two wonderful online conferences. While most in-person events have been cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic, these virtual events are a great way to ensure fruitful discussions and collect feedback, which is crucial for all kinds of research.
The release of the official nation-wide GTFS dataset for Germany has been a game changer for all kinds of public transport analysis recently. Within EMMA, we use a filtered version of this dataset for the region in OpenTripPlanner.
