MODAP: A Multi-City Open Data & Analytics Platform for Micromobility Research McKenzie, Grant open data mobility geovisualization micromobility Over the past decade, micromobility services, particularly electric vehicles for personal short-distance trips, have experienced significant growth. Major cities around the world now host extensive fleets of vehicles available for short-term public rental. While previous research has examined usage patterns within and between a few select cities, large, open, and publicly accessible data sets for analyzing mobility across multiple cities are extremely limited. I have collected, curated, and aggregated over twenty million e-scooter and e-bicycle trips across five major cities and are openly releasing aggregated data for use by mobility and sustainable transport researchers, urban planners, and policymakers. To accompany these data, I developed MODAP (Micromobility Open Data & Analytics Platform), a geovisual analytics tool that empowers researchers to explore the temporal and regional patterns of e-mobility trips within our open data set and download the data for offline analysis. My objective is to foster further research into city-scale mobility patterns and to equip researchers, community members, and policymakers with the necessary tools to conduct this work.
