Running route finder_jerry_chen
Running route finder_jerry_chenZhanyangChen Jerry Chen developed an app called Running Routes Finder that generates personalized running routes based on a user's home address. The app uses OpenStreetMap data on streets and Boston crime reports to find optimal routes that balance performance, efficiency, and safety factors like crime rates and avoiding retreading routes. Users can input their address, customize cost functions that weigh crime, length, and other preferences, and receive personalized running route recommendations.

Jerry chen final_demoZhanyangChen This document describes a running routes finder app that uses OpenStreetMap data and crime incident reports to generate personalized running routes from a user's home address. It discusses using a cost function along with the Dijkstra algorithm to find optimal routes by balancing factors like crime rates, route length, preference for paths vs sidewalks, and avoiding retreading the same routes. The document provides examples of the app input and output and proposes future features to incorporate additional real-time data on traffic, crowds, noise, and air quality. It concludes by showing how the cost function and algorithm can be tuned by adjusting the weights of different cost factors.
Creating an Itinerary in Toronto, Canada
Creating an Itinerary in Toronto, CanadaVirgilio Espina This document describes using a K-means clustering algorithm to create an optimized itinerary for visiting neighborhoods in East, West, and Central Toronto. Data on postal codes, venues, and crime indicators for Toronto neighborhoods are cleaned and analyzed. The K-means algorithm is applied with different cluster values to group neighborhoods. Maps show the clustered neighborhoods and crime data. A proposed itinerary is generated that minimizes travel time while exploring unique neighborhoods and incorporating crime safety information. The conclusion recommends including crime data in the clustering analysis for an improved itinerary.
Unsupervised Learning of General-Purpose Embeddings for User and Location Mod...
Unsupervised Learning of General-Purpose Embeddings for User and Location Mod...Carsten Eickhoff Many social network applications depend on robust representations of spatio-temporal data. In this work, we present an embedding model based on feed-forward neural networks which transforms social media check-ins into dense feature vectors encoding geographic, temporal, and functional aspects for modeling places, neighborhoods, and users. We employ the embedding model in a variety of applications including location recommendation, urban functional zone study, and crime prediction. For location recommendation, we propose a Spatio-Temporal Embedding Similarity algorithm (STES) based on the embedding model.
In a range of experiments on real life data collected from Foursquare, we demonstrate our model's effectiveness at characterizing places and people and its applicability in aforementioned problem domains.
Finally, we select eight major cities around the globe and verify the robustness and generality of our model by porting pre-trained models from one city to another, thereby alleviating the need for costly local training.

*** Full schedule available at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_2013
OpenTripPlanner (OTP) is an open source multi-modal journey planner with a particular emphasis on public transport and bicycle itineraries. OTP combines OpenStreetMap data with open timetable feeds in the GTFS format to create its representation of a transportation network.
The OpenTripPlanner Analyst (OTPA) modules build upon the core journey planner to provide travel time mapping and accessibility visualisation for use in town planning, transport planning, and public consultations. OpenStreetMap data allows OTPA to consider pedestrian and bicycleconnectivity at high spatial resolution, sidestepping the problematic spatial aggregation of data.
Our presentation will cover the use of OpenStreetMap data in OTP Analyst studies, the advantages of working with OSM data, and direct participation in the OSM community by local transportation authorities.

PDQ PosterDBOnto PDQ: Proof-driven Query Answering over Web=based Data
Abstract: The data needed to answer queries is often available through Web-based APIs. Indeed, for a given query there may be many Web-based sources which can be used to answer it, with the sources overlapping in their vocabularies, and differing in their access restrictions (required arguments) and cost.
We introduce PDQ (Proof-Driven Query Answering), a system for determining a query plan in the presence of web-based sources. It is: (i) constraint-aware -- exploiting relationships between sources to rewrite an expensive query into a cheaper one, (ii) access-aware -- abiding by any access restrictions known in the sources, and (iii) cost-aware -- making use of any cost information that is available about services.
PDQ takes the novel approach of generating query plans from proofs that a query is answerable. We demonstrate the use of PDQ and its effectiveness in generating low-cost plans.

Using FME to Manipulate Various Sources of Data for Traffic Collision Spatio-...Safe Software It is of interest to explore the spatial correlation between traffic collisions and other types of available data, for example demographic and economic information, land-use, license premises and weather. To effectively prepare the data for further analysis, the City of Edmonton Office of Traffic Safety used a series of extract-transform and load (ETL) tools provided by FME. This presentation will introduce three key ETL processes performed with FME: 1) manipulate roadway GIS data for network-based spatial analysis; 2) build spatial connection between various sources of data; 3) effectively prepare the proper format of spatial data to establish advanced spatial statistics.

Crime Risk Forecasting: Near Repeat Pattern Analysis & Load Forecasting
Crime Risk Forecasting: Near Repeat Pattern Analysis & Load ForecastingAzavea http://www.azavea.com/hunchlab
This is a rather technical dive into the near repeat pattern analysis and load forecasting features that we've built into HunchLab. Both of these features are aimed at helping a law enforcement agency to better predict risk levels across their jurisdictions and allocate resources according. While no application of predictive analytics will be perfect, forecasting risk based on models of the past can help officers and analysts to anticipate the appropriate next steps.
Near repeat pattern analysis helps officers quantify the risk that arises from multiple incidents happening close to one another in space and time. What we are quantifying is how the fact that your neighbor's house is burgled raises your risk of a burglary in the coming days and weeks.
With load forecasting we are looking at cyclical temporal patterns in incidents. How does the time of year, time of day, and day of week change the levels of crime incidents that we should expect across a jurisdiction? By modeling these cyclical patterns we can project crime levels into the future, helping law enforcement agencies to allocate resources appropriately as well as better manage organizational accountability.

Automobile Route Matching with Dynamic Time Warping Using PySpark with Cather...Databricks According to data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2016, an average of ~100 people were killed in automobile accidents every day in the United States. Agero, a market leader in software-enabled driver assistance services, has responded to this growing problem with a breakthrough consumer app that provides near real-time driver behavior analysis and actionable insights to its users on how to become safer drivers.
As part of this effort, we have developed a methodology to identify the most frequent routes that each driver travels by applying Dynamic Time Warping time-series analysis techniques to spatial data. In this talk, we will give a high-level overview of the methodology, and discuss the performance improvement achieved by transitioning the software from stand-alone Python into PySpark + Databricks.
Discussion points will include how to determine the best way to (re)design Python functions to run in Spark, the development and use of user-defined functions in PySpark, how to integrate Spark data frames and functions into Python code, and how to use PySpark to perform ETL from AWS on very large datasets.

Case Studies in Managing Traffic in a Developing Country with Privacy-Preserv...Biplav Srivastava Simulation is known to be an effective technique to understand
and manage traffic in cities of developed countries. However, in developing countries, traffic management is lacking due to a wide diversity of vehicles on the road, their chaotic movement, little instrumentation to sense traffic state and limited funds to create IT and physical infrastructure to ameliorate the situation. Under these conditions, in this paper, we present our approach of using the Megaffic traffic simulator as a service to gain actionable insights for two use-cases and cities in India, a first. Our approach is general to be readily used in other use cases and cities; and our results give new insights: (a) using demographics data, traffic demand can be reduced if timings of government offices are altered in Delhi, (b) using a mobile company’s Call

KTH-Texxi Project 2010
KTH-Texxi Project 2010Texxi Global This document summarizes a study on implementing demand-responsive transit (DRT) services in Stockholm, Sweden. The researchers:
1. Developed a methodology to analyze existing trip data, demographics, and other factors to model demand and identify optimal areas for a DRT pilot project. This included developing a gravity model to estimate potential trips.
2. Applied the methodology to identify the top 3 candidate clusters for the pilot: Sollentuna, Hammarbyhöjden/Björkhagen, and Södertälje.
3. Discussed opportunities to improve the analysis, such as incorporating additional data sources and parameters or using more advanced clustering algorithms.
Analysing road traffic
Analysing road trafficSailendraRajuMeruga 'Geo-spatial analysis' covers a wide range of analytical techniques which are used in identifying the patterns in Spatial data. Spatial data provides the better understanding of the problem and also in decision making. In order to explore a Geo spatial phenomena we have to categorize the problem and it is done by the better understanding how the data can be expressed for a feature. High population growth rates have posed new traffic management challenges in the urban areas. We are evaluating how Geo-spatial techniques are utilized in Road traffic analysis by visualizing the traffic congestion areas.
Urban Parking Poster
Urban Parking PosterJake Garrison The document describes an urban parking app that uses predictive analytics and historical parking data to route drivers to areas likely to have open parking spots. The app would allow users to input a destination and preferences, then calculate and display an optimal route to available parking. The backend uses machine learning algorithms to forecast parking availability up to 14 days in advance based on features like time of day, weather, and temperature. It stores parking data and analytics in a database and serves them through a REST API to power the mobile app interface. The goal is to reduce time spent searching for parking and alleviate traffic congestion in cities.

Are you Transitioning or Refining Now..?
Are you Transitioning or Refining Now..?Gregory Vigneaux If the question is, "How will society survive wildfires moving forward?" wildfire-adapted communities are a promising answer. According to the Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network, "A fire-adapted community is a community that understands its risk and takes action before, during, and after the fire in order for their community to be more resilient to wildfire." If fire-adapted communities have the potential to be effective, how are they brought into being? The prior introduces the very question this theoretical discussion-based lecture seeks to explore on April 30th at 10 a.m. - 11:30:00 p.m. MDT.
Former Hotshot and winner of the National Park Service's Fuels and Ecology Award for Promoting Fire-Adapted Human Communities, Gregory Vigneaux draws on years of research to examine two modes of wildfire-adapted community change: transitions and refining the present. Attendees will be introduced to the unique pathways, dynamics, and concepts that shape each mode. The talk begins by discussing place before discussing how place is dwelled in and what that means for change.
Through theoretical exploration, participants will be introduced to language and insights for a better understanding of the changes they hope to effect and explore whether a different approach might be more effective. This discussion does not address physical fire adaptation, such as creating defensible space and home hardening, but instead examines processes of change.
This event is tailored for anyone interested in creating wildfire-adapted communities. For example, fire-adapted practitioners and stakeholders, community groups, fire mitigation experts, insurers, emergency managers, government fire officials, nonprofits, private organizations, and others. The talk provides valuable insights into community change processes around wildfire risk.
