Project Description

With the increasing price of driving, especially with gas, alternative transportations such as bikes and scooters have become popular and essential to our country. Furthermore, emissions that are produced by cars and other transportations are causing a massive impact on the world, such as climate change, and overall pollution of air. This impact can cause health issues and causes damage the environment.

To resolve the issue of poorly conditioned pathways, and ensure a safer alternative of transportation, we have developed a new system that will use the data from the e-bikes and e-scooters to find these poorly conditioned paths and contact both the users of these transportation and the government. The data will show where, these poorly conditioned pathways are, allowing the government to upgrade and replace them, making more efficient and safer paths. These data will also notify bicycle and scooter users, about construction works, road closes, and poorly conditioned and unsafe roads, while also displaying the most effective route to their destination. A device that is already placed within the e-bikes and e-scooters will notify the system, on bumpy roads, long stop times. The overall information regarding the safety and usage of these pathways will be improved and displayed.

Data Story

Data: Cycle's aim is to use data, that is gathered from e-bikes and e-scooters to better pathways, and other roads, thus increasing their usage of them. The increased usage of shared e-bikes and e-scooters will also decrease the greenhouse gas produced by cars and other vehicles.

Using open data sources, such as the maps of the forestry around Canberra, and open data road information from ACT, we have created a plan that will tackle such issues.

The data that are used were presented in a different formats, such as numbers, graphs, maps etc... These data were analysed, and used throughout the project.
