#transportationresearch — Public Fediverse posts

It looks like a nice list has been put together over at RERITE — a working group dedicated to reproducible research in transportation engineering (rerite.org/about.html). Open datasets, benchmarks, and tools for transportation research have all been curated in one place.

Oh, and OSRM happened to get a mention in there too. 👀

Given the stakes, more potent framing would need to convey the urgency of the relevant issues:

"Spinach is good for all of us; if we don't eat more spinach, the world is going to burn and we will all be sick and die horrible ecocidal deaths."

Or:

"Spinach is good for all of us; we all need to eat spinach to ensure that the world remains livable for the children of tomorrow."

By framing active school travel as an individual choice collective action is kept out of the frame, which limits the range of policy alternatives that the public is aware of.

If we had to paraphrase how active school travel is framed in Ontario, it would be like this:

"Spinach is good for you; here are some tips for choosing spinach."

While reasonable, the message is not particularly persuasive.

New article with Elise Desjardins, Jason Lam, @geodarcy, Damian Collins, and Owen Waygood on how #active #school #travel is framed in Ontario, Canada.

Frames provide organizing principles and stories for understanding phenomena, and they can modify the alternatives that the public is willing or able to contemplate to tackle issues.

Seems like my first conference contribution since 2019 will be a short "late-breaking paper" (as a co-author) for a robotics conference. It will be about vulnerable road users expectations on automated shuttles. If it gets accepted, that is 😂🤣

In any case, exciting...
