Spatial analysis of cyclist mobility patterns using geovisualization to improve public bike-share system in a small size city
Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geospatial TechnologiesNowadays, a large amount of data with high spatio-temporal resolution is increasingly
produced in cities arising from different systems. One system on trend is Bike share systems,
which creates data that allow tracking bicycles positions located at the stations network when
a bike is taken from one station and later parked at the destination point. These data can be
used to explore how cyclists move around the city. In this work, we use data provided by
Bicicas, bike share system provider in Castellón de la Plana, the focus is set in the analysis of
the cyclist mobility patterns through the use of geo-visualization tools. We propose a method
which goes from data collection to the development of an interactive dashboard used for the
visual analysis of the movements. The data collected and the analytical code developed
during this study will be available on GitHub to enhance reproducible research practices
