- 5. OpenPlans is anNYC-based nonprofit - builds Open Source Civic Infrastructure - urban/built environment advocacy and journalism - transportation team projects focus on open data sources NYC MTA BusTime - SIRI over JSON feed - statistical modeling / Kalman filter - position-based system to circumvent patent troll OpenTripPlanner (ride.trimet.org) - replacing costly commercial license renewal - product ownership by public agency - Portland had early GTFS feed + OSM - transposable to any city with GTFS (or equivalent, Netex, etc.)
- 6. 2013 : OpenPlansTransportation is now Conveyal - Open data driven transportation planning consultancy - Spin-out partnership with ITP Transport Planning (UK) Upcoming projects - Public transit service modification analysis for Seattle (US) - Washington, DC regional commute planning system - Crowdsourced traffic data, Cebu, Philippines - Infrastructure evaluations in Vietnam, China using open data - Real-time / decentralized journey planning: Netherlands Transport Ministry Noord Brabant pre-commercial procurement (P3ITS) project
- 7. Examples of datareuse: - Passenger information systems (e.g. journey planners) But also: - Infrastructure evaluation - Town planning - Social and economic research
- 14. Open transit datais a window into the underlying temporal structure of cities.
