📢 Public service announcement for #rstats users and learners working with geographic data: Geocomputation with R's Binder link is working again 🎉🎉You can give it a spin at r.geocompx.org and then clicking on the "Binder" link. #DataScience #geocompx

⚡ Excited to announce a PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds! ⚡ If you're interested in developing spatial interaction models for fast and fair decarbonisation, check it out: phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/2171-e… Please share with anyone interested 🙏

The Transport Data Minihack in ITS Leeds is underway! Great to be here developing reproducible data processing pipelines with interesting datasets to answer real-world problems. For anyone who would like to follow online see links to datasets here: itsleeds.github.io/tds/minihack-t…

It's well-known that the rightly popular/ubiquitous version control software Git is good for tracking changes in computer code. But did you know that it's also an outstanding tool for tracking changes in natural language/prose? Source: github.com/nptscot/networ…

Looking forward to the Speed Learning session tomorrow at Active City York, where me and Angus Calder from Sustrans will demo the Network Planning Tool for Scotland (NPT). Excited to show new StreetSpace data layer 🎉 For a taster, see here: npt.scot/#/streetspace/…

Delighted to announce: the NPT for Scotland was Highly Commended at the Scottish Transport Awards! 🎉 Funded by Transport Scotland and delivered in collaboration with Sustrans, A/B Street and CycleStreets. Congrats to the team! #TransportPlanning #ActiveTravel

The Best Practice in Transport Planning award at the STAs25 goes to the Edinburgh & South East Scotland City Region Deal for their Workforce Mobility Project, with @SustransScot, @UniversityLeeds and partners Highly Commended for their Network Planning Tool.

Looking forward to chairing a session on New ways of working for a new generation of transport modellers at Modelling World 2025. There's a great line-up of speakers and lots to discuss robinlovelace.net/talk/new-ways-…

Just signed-up to the #UTSG2025 conference in Dublin, 25th-27th June. Looking forward to presenting our work on transport data integration to calculate Level of Service on every road in Scotland. Thanks to colleagues, Transport Scotland + Sustrans. See you there! #NPT #geocompx

Interesting-looking new study finding that "mode shift alone represents only 1/5th of the potential GHG benefits of increasing active transportation in a way that also reduces trip lengths through destination changes" doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.…

🌍 I've developed an interactive web app that allows you to search and visualize open geospatial data from the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI). Try it out: 🔗 Web App: huggingface.co/spaces/giswqs/… 📂 GitHub: github.com/opengeos/Amazo… 🎥 Video: youtu.be/aB1LRfrcaO8 Want…

🚗 💥 Excited to share that our latest article is now published in Sustainable Cities and Society! 🔗 lnkd.in/gE8QyWAH 💫 First study to use mobile phone activity data to estimate CO2 emissions validated with emissions sensor measurements

📣Glad to share the logo of {geocodebr}, a really fast, scalable and completely free #rstats package to geocode Brazilian addresses 🗺️📍 ipeagit.github.io/geocodebr/ The logo of #geocodebr was created by the talented Gabriela Momberg behance.net/mombergabri

This #DataScience job opportunity looks good!

There's an upcoming in-person talk in ITS Leeds on modelling major change for transport decarbonisation. Specifically, what would happen if 50% of road space was reallocated for active travel? Book a ticket here to out! ticketsource.com/institute-for-…

I'm doing a seminar in St Andrews 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 a week today. Looking forward to it and planning to use the nice weather as an excuse to get on my bike ☀️ 🚲 Anyone tips on Leuchars to St Andrews routes? Can do some ground-truth validation of our Network Planning Tool (NPT) also!

It's been many months since I last tried out the Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) design tool developed by Dustin Carlino, and I'm blown away, it's on another level 🤯 Responsive, informative, intuitive, accessible, fully open. See for yourself here: a-b-street.github.io/ltn
