Rent fares by days of week

There is no GPS-data, calculating paths by OSRM

We have analyzed the performance statistics of the city bicycle rental in 2015 for the Department of Transport of Moscow. Data on 812 000 rides at 300 rental stations were studied and analyzed taking into account each ride direction and thematic segments.

We identified of usage bicycles in various districts of the city, and analyze how a day of the week, time of the day and the weather conditions affect the rental for different categories of riders.

We developed interactive data exploration tool which makes huge amount of data clear and understandable for various kinds of users.

For example, this statistics shows the stations with an uneven ratio of arrivals/departures and will help to optimize the routes of vehicles relocation of bicycles.

Walking StreetsUrban environment research

Facebook friends survey: What makes street walkable?

First prototype with fake data

Walking Streets it is an independent research of pedestrian conditions in the center of Moscow. The width of sidewalks, accessibility to venues, underpasses, street noise pollution and interesting places have investigated.

Data collection. 93 km of sidewalks in the center of Moscow have measured.

Current state of the data

Meet Vika. She is a volunteer. Vika helped us to gather a lot of sidewalks data during her summer evening walks.

Further plans

• Parametric routing

• New data layers

• New cities

In addition to projects we’re teaching how to visualize geodata. Cartography, data representation principles, tools and coding skills.
