MODULES
FUNDATIONS of URBAN MOBILITY
Introduction
In this module, you'll explore the key challenges facing modern cities, including congestion, safety concerns, and aging infrastructure. You'll learn why data-driven solutions are essential for improving urban mobility and building smarter, more efficient transport systems.
Through real-world examples and reflective activity, you'll analyse common mobility pain points and discover how data science can support solutions like accident reduction, route optimization, and enhanced public transit.
A final assessment will review all topics covered in the course.

MOBILITY DATA SOURCES & OPEN DATA Module 1
In this module, you'll learn about essential mobility data sources, including traffic sensors, accident databases, ridership statistics, and city open data platforms. Special focus is given to OpenStreetMap (OSM), where you'll explore its structure—such as roads, transit stops, and points of interest—and consider its role in mobility analysis through an interactive activity.
The module highlights how these diverse data sources contribute to a comprehensive understanding of urban mobility.
A final assessment wraps up the topics and sets the stage for the next module on geospatial data foundations.

GEOSPATIAN DATA FOUNDATIONS
Module 2
In this module, you'll be introduced to key Python libraries for geospatial analysis, including GeoPandas and OSMnx. You'll learn how to load, explore, and manipulate geospatial datasets—such as shapefiles and coordinate systems—using GeoPandas.
The module also demonstrates how to integrate OpenStreetMap (OSM) road network data with accident datasets to support mobility analysis. By the end, you'll have a solid foundation in handling spatial data for urban mobility projects.
A final assessment will reinforce the concepts before you move on to data preparation and exploratory analysis.

DATA PRERATION & EDA
Module 3
In this module, you'll learn essential techniques for cleaning mobility datasets and performing exploratory data analysis (EDA). Topics include handling missing values, detecting outliers, and engineering meaningful features such as traffic volumes and distances to intersections.
You'll also practice cleaning and visualizing real-world mobility data to uncover trends and generate actionable insights.
A final assessment will help solidify your understanding before moving on to data visualization.

VISUALIZING URBAN MOBILITY
Module 4
In this module, you'll learn how to create compelling visualizations to communicate mobility trends using interactive mapping tools.
You'll explore the basics of Folium, including how to add markers, polygons, and cluster accident data. You'll also generate choropleth maps to reveal spatial patterns in accident frequency and traffic flow. These visualization techniques will help you better interpret and present mobility insights.
