With the Bike Data Project, Open Knowledge Belgium vzw/asbl is launching a community-driven platform that collects data about where and when people cycle. In collaboration with Brussels Mobility and Minister Elke Van Den Brandt, there's a crowdsourcing campaign running in Brussels in October-November in which cyclists use mobile apps to collect and share the data of their bike rides on www.bikedataproject.org. The platform aims to collect GPS data from cyclists and make the anonymous aggregated data available as open data.
On Tuesdays 13 October, 27 October and 10 November, we'd like to invite you as a cyclist, data analyst, mobility planner, city planner, activist or journalist to join us during our Bike Data Project, where we want to discuss the opportunities of a more bicycle-friendly city with open data.
This is what we will do on November 13th: let's put our ideas together to make Brussel more bicycle-friendly and talk about open cycling data!
What will we do?
During this Data Dive event, we will both exchange ideas on how we can build a more bicycle-friendly city with open data and discuss how we can have more impact with the Bike Data Project in Brussels.
Where is the event taking place?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this meetup will take place online.
Do I need a technical profile to come?
Absolutely not! Just your ambition to make Brussels better for cyclists.
