Stokemonkey bike motor. Transport informatics. A note on the importance of dataA key aspect here is to ensure that transport systems are generating rich data in real-time as a side-effect of their use I.e. not as a discrete activity, measuring performance occasionally, but that systems are in effect working as continuous broadcast networks, each node - tram, bus, bike, car - generating data about its behaviour (effectively they become large ‘spimes’, or aggregates of spimes).
Having achieved that, we can measure behaviour and thus measure change. And then feed back information to users to enable them to measure their own change too. Welcome to Michigan Flyer.
