The dataset is only provided for the Cycling Data Challenge 2013 workshop which is one of the AGILE 2013 Workshops. As such, the zipped file contains all the information needed for participants to enable them participate in the challenge. This cycling data challenge (in short CDC2013) entails detailed survey of 79 commuter cyclists, while cycling in the area around the Tyneside conurbation. Data collection methods involved day-long GPS tracking alongside diaries, for trip clarification and classification, over a period of 7 days. This data is part of an on-going PhD research of Godwin Yeboah - Northumbria University at Newcastle.
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.
