The challenge● Data is vital to developing inclusive, sustainable cities
● Billion $ investments
● Current data out -of -date or incomplete
● Hard to see full transport ecosystem
● Perceived as difficult to collect informal transport data

2. Automate the boring stuff● Highlight errors
● Noisy GPS
→ match routes to the road
● Process megacities in less than 1

3. Collect flexible modes● Visualise differences
● Compare times of day
● Better understand variability

5. Universal data formats● Same data used in different tools
● GTFS→ timetables and scheduling
● Shapefiles → visualise in GIS tools
● .csv , KML , GPX, geodatabase …
● Combine with 3rd party datasets
→ Demographic, land-use, census, survey

CASE STUDIES
How can transport data be used?

TRANSPORT PLANNING
Accessibility Analyses● Understand ease of movement
● Access ≠ accessibility
● Walking distance,
travel distance, transfers
