APIs are an essential part of every software. Developers use them in various ways to populate the frontend interfaces with essential data. This summer, I will be working on building a Python client and a wrapper for the OGC Maps API. This will be extended to other APIs as well in a later stage.
A Python package to query and analyze enviroCar’s trajectory data
enviroCar is an open Citizen Science platform to collect, share and analyze floating car data for traffic quality and environmental monitoring. Its main components are the server back-end and the Android App. See envirocar.org for more details. This article focuses on the Python package envirocar-py, which enables users to query enviroCar’s open data and perform detailed analysis in Python.
Master Thesis by Fabian von Bechen
Traffic is one of the biggest sources of CO2 emission in Germany. Research to reduce these emissions focuses on the development of low-emission drive systems or electric engines. Another possibility to avoid CO2 emissions is environmentally friendly routing. Fabian von Bechen took this approach in his Masters thesis “The use of floating car data for cost attributes in routing applications”.more >
Last week I showed some (very) limited snap shots of the new user interface for Ilwis4. But the user interface is just one part of the Ilwis-objects framework. In fact, it isn’t the first major “client” we wrote for the framework. The first thing we did after the major parts of the core of the framework were written was write a Python interface.more >
