The data was extracted from the Barcelona City Council report about the 2012 elections. This data has already been integrated in the R package bcndataaccess.

The administratives divisions of Barcelona (by districts) can be found at the GeoportalBCN as shape files . The shape files can then be esaliy updated to CartoDB.

Visualizing Barcelona’s Public Bikes Usage

Did you know that Spain has the greatest number of bicycle sharing systems in the world? Having a high demand for these makes a lot a sense – the mild winter leaves one no bad-weather-excuses for not biking; and in the summer the bicycle is the most pleasant transport method for going to the beach. But if you have ever tried to go to the beach on the bici (that’s how the public bikes are called in Barcelona) on a lovely Sunday morning, you’ve probably stumbled on your closest station being empty. So you walk under the scorching Spanish sun to the next station, and quite possibly – to the one after that, until you can find a bicycle. Once you finally arrive to the beach, all the stations are now full, and there’s a line of people waiting to return their bicing.

Each time this happened to me, it got me thinking that there should be a way to forecast the demand in order to improve the supply. Fortunately, the guys at CityBikes have provided an API with the momentary availability of bikes. So, I scraped a several days worth of data, averaged the bikes per station and produced the following image.

The white dots are the stations that are on average (almost) full and the reds are (again almost) always empty.
Great, but this doesn’t help at all with the forecast, because even though the station which is closest to my apartment is in yellow (meaning that on average there are bikes), it is always empty in the morning and always full at night. The obvious solution would be to average the bikes on each station by time of the day and then create an animation with that. And I did. Here’s the result, conclusions and R source code to generate it.http://www.nikefreerunshoesplus.com nike free shoes

The birth of a new community in Barcelona!

Leave a comment

We love data and we love Barcelona. Data has the power to shape every aspect of our life, from the way we understand ourselves to the way we run our cities. Barcelona, the great enchantress, long ago caught us in her midst of great weather, fantastic food, beautiful architecture and passionate citizens (local and foreign). That is why over some beers we decided to join forces to accelerate Barcelona’s transformation into a data-driven city, a city where civil society, government and enterprises benefit from a smart and open use of data. BCN analytics is our non-for profit project whose ultimate goal is to make of Barcelona a European hub for Analytics. If you share a passion for data and Barcelona then join us by signing up and form part of group.
