Very exciting to hear from Tom Forth at Data Driven today! I did have flashbacks to waiting for buses up to Headingley though 😂

And, with my UBDC hat on, having publicly available historical bus location data would be great!!!

Thanks James Thomas and Eddie Wilson for your #DataDriven presentation! This is a dataset I want to explore properly.

Really great to see the case study where you used your analysis to feed into the consultation on changes to the MOT

3 years later and {osmextract} is strong, v0.5.1 just released 🎉 Lots of goodies in there: docs.ropensci.org/osmextract/ Don't let access to open data be a barrier to your reproducible #DataScience projects 🚀

This is more than a year old but just came across it. So cool to see this use of open data with reproducible #rstats code. Would have been impossible even 5 years ago, easy to forget how fast these #OpenScience communities are developing 🚀

So many rewarding things about building in the open. One of the biggest is the sense of 'Wow I did it' you feel when new contributors get involved 🏗 Being involved in building things by the community + for the community can feel amazing 🚀

Our paper (with Ewa Dobrowolska) in Scientific Reports on the design of the 'Quality of Life Index' (QOLI) based on OpenStreetMap data is already online! Easy to replicate in R (see Github), powerful in checking if a city is '15 minutes city'.

📢 Dear colleagues working on human mobility modeling and prediction -- we are excited to announce a new open dataset of human mobility which contains city-scale, longitudinal, anonymized, 100,000 individual mobility trajectories. Scientific Data: nature.com/articles/s4159…

No THAT's a strategic network plan: great to see the high level overview and *connected* plan that goes to all major settlements. #DataScience not enough for good transport planning, knowledge and experience vital, but can help, e.g. to prioritise routes along those corridors.

Active Lives figures out today show, year-on-year, one million more adults are walking, wheeling & riding to get from A to B.
More people building activity into their day = less people off work, less GP visits and a greener future. It’s a win-win investment in the future. 👏👏

As someone who does a fair amount of geocoding, this is awesome. Not checked ArcGIS API key info but plan to be doing so soon!

Work by former colleagues Office for National Statistics (ONS) Data Science Campus Department for Business and Trade, David Bradnum, Ed Sherman , & myself out today on monitoring ship crossings through critical trade straits. Hardcore #DataScience & geospatial analysis brought together to forge new gov capability!

This app is great for comparing multimodal transportation to working places in multiple places, and happy to see the Universidad EAFIT contributions...citiesmoving.com/visualizations/ in the 🧵some obvious or interesting insights ...thanks Jennifer Ding great find.

It's pretty simple: Cities that want more people to bike shouldn't force cyclists to ride alongside fast cars.

'Substantial speed differentials between bikes and motor vehicles are a barrier to bike riding.'

Colleagues Institute for Transport Studies at Leeds driving the research agenda in this space. Highly recommended!

Mobility research needs more like this. Open longitudinal, anonymized, mobility dataset👇
