𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 0.2.0 is here. As before, you are getting nicely formatted Open Mobility Big Data released by the Spanish Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MITMS) in a reproducible way. #rstats #opendata #HumanMobility #spanishoddata

- downloads more reliable
- file verification,
- improved docs
- quickly getting daily pre-aggregated data is working again
- more...

Ever wish you knew who already collected the GPS data you need?

We propose OpenGPS—a platform to share, store & process human mobility tracking data.

Phase I: metadata sharing, find out who has what
Phase II: data storage & sharing
Phase III: privacy-aware cloud-based analysis tools

Prototype already live

With @jedalong, @udemsar, Katarzyna Sila-Nowicka, Vanessa Brum-Bastos, Jinhyung Lee & Hui Jeong Ha.

#Introduction

Hi everyone! FINALLY, I’m happy to join Mastodon!

I’m a #Postdoc at the University of Helsinki, working on #UrbanPlanning, #Transportation, #HumanMobility, and #AI.

Excited to connect, explore your work, and share mine!

Let’s talk #Science, #BigData, #SmartCities, #Sustainability, and more.

#rstats #spanishoddata is now featured on the Ministerio de Transportes y Movilidad Sostenible's website as one of the alternative ways to access the open human mobility data for Spain: https://www.transportes.gob.es/ministerio/proyectos-singulares/estudios-de-movilidad-con-big-data/opendata-movilidad
#gischat #humanmobility
#spanishoddata homepage is here: https://ropenspain.github.io/spanishoddata/

#30DayMapChallenge #AI_only #HumanMobility I tried to teach DALL-E about locations of Spanish cities. I even gave it a real map to learn. It failed miserably ;) To make an actual map of human mobility from real data in Spain use #rstats #spanishoddata package https://ropenspain.github.io/spanishoddata/

#30DayMapChallenge #polygons #Spain #DANA #humanmobility #movilidad up to 2% of typical daily mobility in Spain was affected by DANA as of 31 October, based on open mobility data for 2023 and road closures data. Via: #rstats #spanishoddata https://ropenspain.github.io/spanishoddata/

#socioeconomic #segregation measured at hourly intervals at a fine spatial scale in Spanish cities. What you see in the plot is hourly (you read that right, every hour of the day!) Gini income inequality. Based on https://twitter.com/mitmagob #humanmobility #opendata. Feedback is welcome.

2023 Spatial #lightningtalks were a blast! Thank you https://twitter.com/spatialUCSB https://twitter.com/UCSBgeog https://twitter.com/STKO_UCSB for organizing this! My talk on #Mosquitoes and #HumanMobility #OpenData from https://twitter.com/mitmagob is available at https://youtube.com/watch?v=zuR9OH2A7wc&list=PL71KdhqVnIuMjxJhykqixMrxW4f-GkPoO&index=3 + many more great talks are in the same playlist!

My lightning talk on how #HumanMobility #OpenData from
https://twitter.com/mitmagob
can be useful in improving mosquito dispersal models. Among other great talks on March 16 10am PDT/6pm CET online https://twitter.com/spatialUCSB https://twitter.com/UCSBgeog https://twitter.com/STKO_UCSB

I'm a pre-doctoral researcher exploring the fascinating intersection of human mobility and disease ecology , esp. spread of mosquitoes #SpatialDataScience #DiseaseEcology #HumanMobility #ComputationalSocialScience Read and interview with me: https://www.demogr.mpg.de/en/news_events_6123/news_press_releases_4630/news/egor_kotov_is_a_new_phd_student_at_the_laboratory_of_digital_and_computational_demography_11476

Food for thought: when/if twitter collapses, all the very popular studies in #GIScience using twitter data for #HumanMobility or #SpatialBehaviour (or well, other behaviour) will become obsolete.

It probably doesn't have to collapse completely, but even a significant change in userbase (as is happening now - although to what extent does this have to happen? And is now enough?) will make them useless.

Maybe a topic for #gischat?
