Description of the challenge (see AGILE 2013 Workshops and CDC2013 website for more details)
In order to fully comprehend the constraints imposed on cyclists, the GPS tracks of individual cyclists need to be cleaned/processed and analysed alongside secondary data, such as the main traffic arteries, cycling pathways and recently established 20 miles-per-hour zones. As part of data processing and analysis process, a data challenge is introduced to allow interested researchers to meet and exchange ideas whiles contributing to knowledge. The aim of the challenge is to offer a productive environment where selected “special working group,” can work on, and exchange, ideas regarding possible ways to: isolate cycling tracks from messy GPS tracks in order to understand cycling behaviour in an urban area; and, also, reconstruct and visualise the actual cyclists’ movement behaviour using the isolated cycling tracks using any available agent-based modelling platform(s).
What is expected from Participants – possible outputs
Output 1: A working algorithm/computer program that extracts cycle tracks from provided GPS raw data. Comparison with cleaned data and a demonstration during the workshop is essential.
Output 2: A working agent-based model (ABM) that allows possible interaction between any built environment features and cycling behaviour. A comparison with one of any other available open source ABM should be made (E.g., NETLogo).
Output 3: A proposed concept/workflow that allows possible interaction between any built environment features and cycling behaviour
Output 4: A proposed concept/algorithm/computer program that extracts cycle tracks from messy GPS raw data. A comparison with proposed Visual Inspection should be made.
Output 5: Participants’ own innovative ideas relevant to the workshop questions.
