Think about your neighborhood. Where are the stores or doctor’s offices? How easy is it to access fresh food? Human mobility researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are providing information on access to essential services in communities by creating synthetic populations that mirror real neighborhoods and observing how transportation routes around the area support or detract from the residents’ quality of life.
Joe Tuccillo, a human geography research scientist, leads the UrbanPop project that uses census data to create synthetic populations.
