Today's bike ride was 8 miles but whatever the crazy thing is that I saw a guy get chased off the Menomonee River Parkway by a turkey! It chased him into the road, and he was running down the middle of the road and a car had to stop!

If 1/2 of the road space would be reserved for slow traffic:
👉 1/2 of the passenger kilometres travelled by car can be shifted to public transport, e-bikes, bicycles & walking
👉 CO₂ emissions could be cut by 40%
👉 a reduction in accidents could save up to 76 million Swiss francs annually
👉 Mobility will also become cheaper for households
👉 from current damages of around 500 million Swiss francs into long-term benefits of around 1 billion
Nice visualisations…

“The lack of vision has led transport policy down a dead end.”
Cities can expand their bike lane networks significantly without causing additional congestion on the roads. That is the conclusion reached by the ETH research project E-Bike City. Project lead and transport researcher Kay Axhausen explains the implications for traffic, the environment and costs. 

What can I use to make this? Hopefully easily (as in, the lines all move in a group if I need to reposition), but honestly I don't care if not — I just want it to know about curves and gaps, positioning nicely by default.

Urban road network is crucial for understanding and revealing the spatial logic of urban organization and evolution.

We present a method for the integrand-level reduction of two-loop helicity amplitudes in both $d=4-2ε$ and $d=4$ dimensions. The amplitude is expressed in terms of a set of Feynman integrals and their coefficients that depend on the external kinematics. The analysis presented in this paper, in conjunction with the ongoing development of the computational framework $\text{HELAC-2LOOP}$, paves the road for the construction of an automated program for two-loop amplitude calculations for arbitrary…

Real-World Deployment of a Lane Change Prediction Architecture Based on Knowledge Graph Embeddings and Bayesian Inference
Research on lane change prediction has gained a lot of momentum in the last couple of years. However, most research is confined to simulation or results obtained from datasets, leaving a gap between algorithmic advances and on-road deployment. This work closes that gap by demonstrating, on real hardware, a lane-change prediction system based on Knowledge Graph Embeddings (KGEs) and Bayesian inference. Moreover, the ego-vehicle employs a longitudinal braking action to ensure the safety of both i…

On the new BC Ferries being built in China.
Do we all remember the last time the BC NDP went down the road of “building a shipbuilding industry to build ferries”?
It has its own Wiki, of course.
"In addition to major delays and cost overruns, the ferries never fully met their original specifications, and only operated briefly in a reduced capacity, before being auctioned off at a substantial loss by the subsequently elected BC Liberal Party government.”
No, I'm not thrilled that China, an authoritarian state, is going to be building these ferries. But no BC or Canadian firms bid on the contract. And right now, the expertise in ship building is in China and Europe (the Island and Salish class vessels were built in Europe).
I don't blame the NDP for not repeating the same mistake 30 years later.
And the ferries will still be refit and maintained for their full service life within BC.

However, to achieve the final breakthrough, not only functional progress is required, but also satisfactory safety assurance must be provided.

Such an assessment must consider on the one hand the imperfections of the AV functionality and on the other hand its interaction with the environment…

Enjoy your Sunday!
