This course teaches two skill-sets that are fundamental in modern transport research: programming and data analytics, with a focus on spatial data. Combining these enables powerful transport planning and
analysis workflows for tackling a wide range of problems, including: How to effectively handle large transport datasets. In terms of content, the first day will
focus on how the R language works, general concepts in efficient R programming, and spatial and non-spatial data classes in R. Building on this strong foundation the second day will cover
the application of the skills developed in Day 1 to transport datasets, with a focus on geographical transport data. Prior experience with transport datasets or common geographic data formats is essential.
