I have been meaning to write a blog post addressing intellectual honesty in the transportation modeling practice for a while, but I never had a compelling reason to do so before today. What happened The episode that prompted me to write this blog post involves a professional acquaintance praising a private company on a LinkedIn […]
One of my last blog posts (adding Python packages to QGIS 3 on Windows 10) was pretty simple, but I was pretty sure that something like that would help quite a bit of people that want to integrate more Python packages into their QGIS workflow, particularly for heavier data processing. One of the many packages […]
It has been nearly 4.5 years since I published my idea on making desire lines using Delaunay Triangles on this blog, over 3.5 years I launched AequilibraE and about 2 years since I incorporated Delaunay Lines into AequilibraE (and made it actually usable). I have presented this concept in conferences (ATRF, TRB Modeling Aplications, and […]
The topic of this post is something I have been wanting to do since I published version 0.3 of AequilibraE, back on August 2016: Separating the aequilibrae python library (the computational engine that underlines most of the AequilibraE procedures) from the GUI part of the software (which is the QGIS interface). The goal? Being able […]
Like most minimally experienced transportation modellers and planners, I have used multiple modelling software in professional and academic life, but I could not properly appreciate the differences between some of the different software implementations until I became myself a “developer” with AequilibraE. One of these differences is how to define and number centroids and general […]
This is one more of those posts that I don’t actually believe I am making. A couple of months ago I was posed with the requirement of estimating a series of simple Multinomial Logit Models for a pretty exciting project at work, and I had to decide which tool I was going to use. Despite […]
WARNING: THIS CODE HAS BEEN DEPRECATED. FOR THE NEW STUFF GO TO https://github.com/aequilibrae/aequilibrae If you had looked at this blog before, you probably already realized that I am all for sharing knowledge and tools, rather than keeping everything to myself and feeding the bad habit people in our field have of re-inventing the wheel every […]
