New research project “GOAT 3.0”!

Our new project “GOAT 3.0” started last month! Within this 3-year project, GOAT functions will be significantly expanded in a co-creative development process.

Project WALKIE successfully completed

The WALKIE project has successfully reached every milestone! GOAT was transferred to Freiburg and extended to include new indicators: a walkability index and potential pedestrian flows.

High quality data, now automatic

The Mapillary API is the first step towards automating data collection through automated image recognition and image segmentation. We use this data in GOAT to improve the data basis of our analyses.

Hackathon: Development of a Walkability Index

We are one of the lucky winners of the MobiData BW Hackathon, where we developed “WALKIE” – a prototypic walkability index and an algorithm to calculate potential pedestrian flows. We will continue the development in a 3-month innovation phase.

Release 1.0

We are happy to announce that we successfully launched version GOAT1.0. Therefore, we are one step closer to our goal of GOAT becoming a useful planning instrument to shape livable communities.
