Data Transport is a non-profit organization that enhances African mobility through transit data collection, mapping, and standardization since 2017. They provide an open data portal, develop APIs and training resources, and offer tools like the Watrifeed GTFS Manager and TransitViz for data visualization. Their initiatives address challenges in data production crucial for urban planning and transportation services in African cities.

2. Data Transport: Who We Are
Data Transport, is a non-profit organization that works to improve African
mobility through transit Data.
#TransitMapping #DataPortal #Standardization GTFS+ #DataViz #API
We have started in 2017

3. What We Do: Data Collection & Mapping
We collect public and private transportation data based on open source and free
mobile technologies.
We digitalize data collected through OpenStreetMap, an open source digital
mapping system.

4. What We Do : Open Data Portal
Data store is an opendata portal focused on African transport and mobility.

5. What We Do : Transit Data Standardization
WatriFeed GTFS Manager
We have developed WatriFeed GTFS Manager a web-based collaborative
GTFS data editor to support the standardization of transport data for easy
reuse in transport, mobility applications and services.

6. Data visualization:Transitviz
www.transitviz.org
Transit Data visualization platform.

7. What We Do : Apps, Services Dev WatriFeed-API
WatriFeed-API provides a Application Programming Interface (API) which allows developers to
build their own applications using specific transport data. We also supports enterprises,
organisations and institutions in designing and developing web and mobile applications for
mobility services.
We also support organizations and institutions designing and developing web and mobile
applications focused on mobility.

8. What We Do : Training and Capacity Building
we provide training and capability building in the areas of data collection,
transit mapping with OpenStreetMap, GTFS standardization, and
development of mobility applications or services.

9. Challenges of data production in African cities

10. Challenges of data production in African cities
Production and availability of transit data
is crucial to improving African mobility :
- Mapping with detailed plan of traffic
routes and facilities;
-Urban Planning;
-Infrastructure Feasibility Evaluation;
- Congestion Management;
- Passenger Informations;
- Improved quality of decision making
process;
Etc.

11. Beyond The Mapping & Transit Data
While transit data is available,
the opportunities to implement
services, applications and
projects to improve African
mobility are limitless. For each
specific problem a concrete
response can be found.
-Data Visualization.
-Data analysis and processing.
-Transport Impact Evaluation
-Congestion Management
System
-Passenger information System
-API (Application Programming
Interface)
Etc.
