Chris Hutchinson - Location dat
a analysis through the prism of time
We&rsquo\;ll briefly look at w
hy location analysis needs to be thought of in terms of time and not dista
nce. After all\, none of us can travel as the crow flies\, and we are all
at the mercy of the transport networks around us to navigate the world.
Then we'll dive into how we made this possible at TravelTime\, touching o
n some of the data sets we use\, the models and algorithms we&rsquo\;ve bu
ilt on top of these\, and how we then make this accessible to users.
Fi
nally we&rsquo\;ll go into a live demo\, showing how the technology can be
used to visualise data and answer some real-world questions in location a
nalytics.

TravelTime pro
vides a set of APIs and GIS analytics plugins that enable the world to be
searched and analysed by time instead of by distance. The breadth of use c
ases for the technology is incredibly broad\, but can be roughly broken do
wn into two categories:
&bull\; Search clients use the API to sort and
rank results by travel time when a user searches on their website\, such a
s property sites\, job sites\, and hotel booking sites
&bull\; Analytic
s clients use our tools to enhance their business intelligence capabilitie
s\, and make better decisions such as retail store site selection\, office
relocations\, and sales territories
Strath Slater - Edinburgh: A 2
0 Minute City?
The concept of the &lsquo\;20-Minute Neighbourhood&r
squo\; - a well connected neighbourhood with all of the amenities people r
equire to meet their everyday needs within a 20 minute return walk or cycl
e &ndash\; has been gaining momentum\, with high profile trials planned in
Paris and Melbourne.
Using spatial analysis of openly available data\,
buildings in Edinburgh were ranked according to whether or not they are w
ithin a 20 minute return walk of a supermarket\, GP surgery\, school\, gre
en recreational space and bus stop.
The results yield some interesting
patterns and raise questions about the success of formalised planning in d
eveloping liveable and practical urban spaces which meet people&rsquo\;s e
veryday needs.
Bio
Strath is an Associate at Galbraith\, where h
e uses spatial analysis to deliver projects in the renewable energy\, util
ities\, rural\, forestry and commercial property sectors.
He spends his
time figuring out how to tell complex stories with spatial data and enjoy
s using maps as vehicles to encourage people to engage with\, interpret an
d understand an issue.
He can be found on Twitter (@StrathSlater) and l
inkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/strathslater)\, where he posts maps and spati
al data visualisations.
As usual we encourage interaction so please
feel free to ask questions\, technical\, aesthetic or otherwise\, of the
speakers and each other.
If you have any speakers or topics you would l
ike to suggest for future events\, let us know!
