    Bike, Bus, and Beyond: Extending Cyclopath to Enable Multi- Modal Routing
    (Minnesota Department of Transportation, 2013-07) Terveen, Loren
    This project addressed several MnDOT critical issues and strategic directions: easing congestion and improving mobility by making multi-modal transit options more easily accessible. It did so by extending the Cyclopath bicycle route-finding system to support multi-modal routes that combine cycling and transit. This required extensions to the route-finding algorithm – to combine biking and transit appropriately – and user interface – to let users express modal preferences and enhance the visual presentation of routes, e.g., to mark mode shifts. We used the Graphserver open-source software to as the routing engine; by building on existing software, we reduced development effort. We conducted interviews with a number of multimodal transit users to guide the design of the user interface.

    Duluth Farmers' Market Survey and Business Plan
    (2006) UMD Labovitz School of Business and Economics
    The Duluth Market Gardeners' Association worked with the Labovitz School’s research bureau to describe the history of the business, marketing financials, business operations, and an executive summary for the business plan. Information from the survey analysis was brought in to guide the marketing plan and to focus expectations for future fund raising and building projects. This is a economics and marketing survey with little insight into land use, water or natural resources.
