Toronto’s network of pedestrian tunnels

Toronto has one of the world’s great commercial downtowns. Two metro lines, eight suburban heavy railways, an extensive bus system, a highway, and North America’s greatest surviving tram network all converge on a tiny area by the shores of Lake Ontario. Hundreds of thousands of commuters pour into the downtown every day, filling the great towers that line its nineteenth-century streets. As with many downtowns, this causes congestion. Streets and pavements are thronged at peak times. Bicycles, p

A short introduction to optimal transport and Wasserstein distance (2020)

A Short Introduction to Optimal Transport and Wasserstein Distance These notes provide a brief introduction to optimal transport theory, prioritizing intuition over mathematical rigor. A more rigorous presentation would require some additional background in measure theory. Other good introductory resources for optimal transport theory include: Why Optimal Transport Theory? A fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning is to come up with useful measures of “distance” between pairs o

Amazon Drone Beehive Concept (2019)

Transport is one of the main pillars of modern economies comprising a spectrum of individual systems and their interconnections that are intended to cover the mobility demand of people and goods. Transport systems include an extensive series of physical and organisational elements and are being characterised by an overall intrinsic complexity. These elements can be influencing each other directly and/or indirectly, linearly or nonlinearly, having also potential feedback cycles [1]. In particular

Show HN: asyncmcp – Run MCP over async transport via AWS SNS+SQS

asyncmcp - Async transport layers for MCP Overview A regular MCP Server but working over queues : queue-based-mcp-example.mov Quoting from the official description : MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. But a lot of this context is not always readily available and takes time for the applications to process - think batch processing APIs, webhooks or queues. In these cases with the current transport layers, the MCP server would have to expose

Trump taps Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as acting NASA chief

Amidst unprecedented budget cuts and looming layoffs, U.S. President Donald Trump has appointed Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy as acting NASA administrator. The appointment is temporary, and Duffy will continue leading the Department of Transportation while assuming the NASA role, Trump said in a post on his social media site, Truth Social. “Sean is doing a TREMENDOUS job in handling our Country’s Transportation Affairs, including creating a state-of-the-art Air Traffic Control systems

Adding public transport data to Transitous

I had mentioned a number of new Transitous features in a previous post. As those largely depend on the corresponding data being available, here’s an overview of how you can help to find, add and improve that data. Transitous Transitous is a community-run public transport routing service build on top of the MOTIS routing engine and thousands of datasets from all over the world. Transitous backs public transport related features in applications like GNOME Maps, KDE Itinerary or Träwelling. Just

USDOT wants more self-driving cars without pedals or steering wheels

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. The US Department of Transportation wants to make it easier for automakers and tech companies to deploy self-driving cars without traditional controls like steering wheels and pedals. In a letter sent to stakeholders, the department said it would streamline reviews of requests for exemptions from safety rules requiring vehi
