SHIFT Transport Coalition launches Transport Analytics Hub to analyse urban mobility data
The SHIFT Transport Coalition has launched the Transport Analytics Hub, an open-access platform designed to help cities analyze urban mobility data using geospatial metrics. The initiative aims to support evidence-based decision-making for more efficient and inclusive urban transport systems.
Why it matters
Data-driven urban planning is increasingly critical for managing congestion and improving infrastructure in rapidly growing cities.
The SHIFT Transport Coalition has launched the Transport Analytics Hub (TAH), an open-access platform aimed at supporting evidence-based decision-making and accelerating the transformation of urban mobility systems.
The platform uses geospatial analytics and interactive visualisation tools to help users understand mobility patterns, compare cities using mobility indicators and assess urban road networks through various geospatial metrics.
According to the coalition, TAH enables users to examine the relationship between people, roads, and transport networks across cities. The platform is intended to generate insights into emerging mobility trends, identify strengths and highlight areas where improvements may be required.
WRI India, a member of the coalition, demonstrated the platform during a session in New Delhi on Tuesday attended by senior urban mobility experts. The session focused on how transport data and analytics can be used to develop actionable insights and support efforts to reimagine mobility systems in cities.
