Egregoria is a city simulation with high granularity (in rust)

I remember a software, where you could take real world streets, run traffic simulations on it, and also make changes to the street layout. Basically, fix the crossing that costs time on your commute every day.

I read about it many years ago, sadly forgot its name and a bit of searching didn't make it show up. So leaving this here in hope someone knows what I am talking about and drops a link. I'd like to read up on what happened to the project as well.

A/B Street seems like a good candidate.

Hi! https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/project/history/retrospect... has a summary of where the project went. The original scope of the traffic simulation was too grandiose, and it was hard to influence real decision-making with something so complex and buggy. A/B Street morphed into several simpler tools focused on specific problems (removing through-traffic through an area, estimating uptake of new cycle lanes). I'm focused more on web-based tools for gov use these days, but will get back to simulation someday!

thanks for the summary and link, yes it was pretty boldly scoped indeed:)
