Kevin Mwenda

In this workshop, attendees will visualize the spatial and temporal distribution of scooter-share vehicles in a U.S. city in “real-time.”

PSTC Seminar Room (2nd Floor)

Visualizing real-time shared-mobility services through open source web mappingThe United States is currently in the midst of a micro-mobility revolution of sorts. Almost overnight, U.S. cities have been inundated with short-term rental scooters owned and operated by start-up companies promising a disruption to the urban transportation status-quo. In this workshop we will visualize the spatial and temporal distribution of scooter-share vehicles in a U.S. city in “real-time.” This will be achieved through the step-by-step development of an interactive web map using open source technologies such as Leaflet (and Mapbox). All backgrounds welcome. Hardware/Software Requirements: A laptop with a web browser and plain text editor (e.g. notepad).Instructor: <a href="https://www.mcgill.ca/geography/people-0/mckenzie" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Prof. Grant McKenzie</a>, McGill UniversityLunch will be served.
