EMMA's conference presentations this summer

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.

Temporal accessibility of workplaces by time of day

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.
