The VCD is the “Verkehrsclub Deutschland”, a major non-profit association and traffic club in Germany that is committed to a socially and environmentally friendly transport transition towards mobility for all road users.

Over the course of his master thesis Carlson also initiated the development of the Python package superblockify which we published recently within the JUST STREETS EU Horizon project we are part of. See: superblockify.city, its Github repository, and the accompanying paper at JOSS.
