  • Publication number: 20240346828
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for simulating movement data of pedestrians in a district are comprising receiving a district plan for a proposed district; determining a number of users that would populate the proposed district; generating a population of simulated users based on the determined number of users that would populate the proposed district; assigning, for the population of simulated users, groups of simulated users in the population of simulated users to a movement category from a plurality of movement categories; distributing, for the groups of simulated users assigned to each of the plurality of movement categories, trips having the probable walking path of the group of simulated users over time by applying a distribution function to each of the plurality of movement categories; and causing a map representation of the district to be presented.

  • Publication number: 20240242023
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing spreadsheet-formatted access to information stored within a hosted electronic notebook, in accordance with one or more implementations. Providing access to the hosted electronic notebook in a spreadsheet format may enhance usability for users who are more comfortable with a spreadsheet format, while still providing the features and functions of a stateful hosted electronic notebook. Providing access in the spreadsheet format may include presenting cell outputs of information cells within the hosted electronic notebook in an array with at least two dimensions. In other words, the information cells of the hosted electronic notebook may be organized and presented in the spreadsheet format to mimic at least some of the structure and function of a spreadsheet file that is stateful and hosted electronically.
