MODAP: A Multi-City Open Data & Analytics Platform for Micromobility Research

Authors: Grant McKenzie

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 346, 13th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2025)

Abstract
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.

When Everything Is "Nearby": How Airbnb Listings in New York City Exaggerate Proximity (Short Paper)

Authors: Mikael Brunila, Priyanka Verma, and Grant McKenzie

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)

Abstract
In recent years, the emergence and rapid growth of short-term rental (STR) markets has exerted considerable influence on real estate in most large cities across the world. Central location and transit access are two primary factors associated with the prevalence and expansion of STRs, including Airbnbs. Nevertheless, perhaps due to methodological challenges, no research has addressed how location and proximity are represented in the titles and descriptions of STRs. In this paper, we introduce a new methodological pipeline to extract spatial relations from text and show that expressions of distance in STR listings can indeed be quantified and measured against real-world distances. We then comparatively analyze Airbnb reviews (written by guests) and listings (written by hosts) from New York City in order to demonstrate systematically how listings exaggerate proximity compared to reviews. Moreover, we discover spatial patterns to these differences that warrant further investigation.
