JuRSE Code of the Month - July 2025

Each month we highlight a code from Forschungszentrum Jülich and this month's code is co-developed at the Institute for Advanced Simulation, Civil Safety Research (IAS-7).

PedPy
PedPy is a python module for pedestrian movement analysis. It implements different measurement methods for density, velocity and flow.

JuRSE selected highlights
PedPy is an actively developed codebase that engages with users and developers through issues, pull requests, and GitHub discussions. They offer Binder notebooks, allowing potential users to test the library without installing it. Some techniques PedPy employs to maintain code tidiness include pre-commit hooks, and linting and formatting with Ruff. They utilize GitHub's Dependabot to ensure project dependencies stay up-to-date.
