Very surprised to know one of the very first steam locomotives that ran in Japan was made in Sheffield!!

I wrote about winning the Transport Data Hackathon on Medium - and featured on Data Science Collective!

I wanted to share I won a transport data hackathon on Medium but my intended audience is definitely planners and transport people rather than data scientists
Looking for a nice publication that I can contribute on, but without success

The go-to source for Japanese geospatial data is finally trying to migrate from #shapefile and doing some public opinioning to see which one is best!!

See ya to .shp (and .dbf, .shx, .prj, and whatever else that they need)!

Finally managed to update my contributions to the #30DayMapChallenge 2024 to my online portfolio! This might be too many maps on one page......

Trying to migrate from one place to another by cross-posting to both for a while - hope this works!

#公共交通オープンデータチャレンジ 投稿作品「急がば漕げマップ」を公開しました!

自転車で駅同士をショートカットする経路検索で、普段の移動の中で自転車をちょい乗りしませんか?という提案です
シェアサイクル事業者や自治体を利用者層と想定したちょい乗りポテンシャルが高い地域も表示でき、自転車まちづくりにも貢献するのでは、との思いも込めています

ぜひ遊んでみてください↓

#Sheffield is the second best city break in Europe?
Did I choose the right place to settle for my career break and study, or does this ranking - crowning Marseille the best - not understand what a city break is?

www.mylondon.news/lifestyle/tr...
UK city 2 and a half hours from London named Europe's second best city break
It may come as a surprise that a city in Yorkshire was ranked above London, Paris, Madrid and so on....

The #30DayMapChallenge is over but one I shared elsewhere before coming here
Day 4 - Hexagons / Commercial POI Density in Tokyo, aggregated by the H3 grid

Suburban stations and the city centre is pretty apparent, although the dense centre is Ueno (not really the busiest)

Made with #blender3d #b3d

#30DayMapChallenge Day 26 - Map Projections
Stars!
I found a rabbit hole of astronomical coordinate systems - map projections of stars! The galactic system takes the Milky Way's Galactic Plane as the equator, the equatorial system is based on the Earth's equator - this is what we're more used to

Trying the gradual migration from Twitter to here
I have a feeling I am too intoxicated to be posting the same thing in two different platforms

Day 12 - Time and Space
An interactive map of Tokyo's rail network showing the travel time from the selected station
Although data is not complete, it's interesting to see how we can travel on the network
