abstreet VS WRF

Super awesome! I like how you just color roads to show time. When you calculate polygons to try and cover the whole area in some 5-10 minute bucket, you can wind up with all sorts of odd holes far away from roads. Keep it simple.

A|B Street does some of that, but it is not a game: https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet

You can build it out in a cool simulator and show it off.

The tool you want exists, but you'll need to actually build the city in it. It's really an incredible program!

Active Travel England | Software Developers and Data Engineer | Full or Part Time | https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/active-travel-en...

Active Travel England will be developing tools to support evidence-based investment and policies to support sustainable transport. We're hiring 3 roles at present (there will be more jobs in January): https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?SI...

We are already working with the transport simulation and scenario development tool A/B Street and the Low Traffic Neighbourhood design tool: https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/ and plan to create new web applications to transform active travel infrastructure design, monitoring and evaluation.

An exciting thing about these jobs from a software engineering perspective is that you will be starting with a relatively blank slate. In the UK we already have tools like https://bikedata.cyclestreets.net and https://www.pct.bike/ but need to go further than this. Long term, the 7 strong Data and Digital team that you will be part of will develop a comprehensive map based design support tool to provide data of the type in BikeData (and more datasets), drawing tools, and automated assessment of proposed interventions.

These opportunities will enable you to shape the future of tools for active travel investment and policy in England and, because the software develop as part of these roles will be open source, beyond.

These high profile jobs will have a large impact, see here for context: https://twitter.com/Chris_Boardman/status/159648662743800217...

I don't know the topic well enough to be sure, but isn't this what you're looking for: https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet

WRF-ARW Modeling System is in the public domain and there is a fork called WRFg that can utilize GPU acceleration. The price of used Nvidia tesla GPUs could allow an enthusiast group to band together and thrive however that doesn't solve the sheer complexity of using the model and obtaining enough accurate data points to even run the model.

The NAM, RAP, and HRRR are all different smaller-scale, higher-resolution models for the US and North America based on the Weather Research and Forecasting model. These are due to eventually be replaced by the RRFS, based on the UFS Short-Range Weather Application.

Hi, I'm going to nitpick and say that most physics modeling software is not written in C. A whole bunch of physics programs are in Fortran (like weather models) .

For some context, WRF (https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF) the current state-of-the-art weather modeling system (also developed by NCAR) can only run on CPU. There have been efforts to run it on GPU (https://wrfg.net)... though it doesn't look like it's been kept up to date.

It seems like FastEddy mostly replaces WRF-LES, which is used for high-resolution localized modeling.

Most of the weather models run on supercomputers, and require a LOT of input data. Here’s one you can try if you’re so inclined. https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF

If anyone is curious, the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model has a repository on GitHub.
