Open Source Licenses
• My understanding is that “open source” licenses such as GNU GPL3 don’t necessarily require that the software be “free” in terms of not charging for it.
• They just require that – (a) the source code always be distributed with the
executable, and – (b) that anyone who receives the software cannot make it
proprietary. • Check your legal team to provide an open source
license.

OpenProj is an open-source desktop project management application similar to Microsoft Project.
OpenProj has a familiar user interface and even opens existing MS Project files.
OpenProj is interoperable with Project, Gantt Charts and PERT Charts.

What is Dynamic Traffic Assignment?
• A method to predict/estimate how trip-makers may shift to other routes or departure time in response to:– Congestion– Pricing– Controls– Incidents– Improvements
• Understand how individual travel decisions impact an entire region, by– Time of day– Origin-Destination (OD) zones– Transportation modes
