Don't forget about Saturday's hackathon! Should be a fun day of inventive coding.
-------------
CTR’s Network Modeling Center (NMC) is hosting a project hackathon on Saturday, February 29, at Perry-Castañeda Library, that explores community resiliency through health, transportation, weather, and pollution data. "Hack for Resilient Communities" is a civic hack to address some of the most pressing challenges we face as Texans: transportation, pollution, weather, and health.

We're looking for civic hackers of all stripes to design and implement software tools to improve community resiliency. Hackers will have access to real Austin data on pollution, weather, transportation, and health, as well as access to prototype custom and commercial data sensors.

No previous hacking or programming experience is required and we encourage participants from any discipline and from all career stages to participate. Hackers will work in teams--you may assemble your own or create one on-site.

Food will be provided throughout the day and prizes will be awarded.

Congrats to CTR's Dr. Stephen Boyles, who along with co-authors Dr. Nicholas Lownes and Dr. Avinash Unnikrishnan has published a textbook: Transportation Network Analysis. This textbook, now available online, covers static and dynamic traffic assignment and provides a good reference for elementary network optimization algorithms and traffic flow theory. Dr. Boyles, an Associate Professor at UT Austin, led this effort. Check out the book using this link: https://lnkd.in/gfZ3Cv5
