Mobility Data ~ 6-7 hours 60 days after start date 1

The Mobility Data course provides an overview of key datasets, analytical tools, and data concepts related to mobility. You will learn a variety of data types and sources — from crash data to travel data to emissions data — while understanding how to appropriately use mobility data in analysis, modeling, and decision-making. These concepts will be presented at a conceptual level, in the context of example use cases. You will come away with an understanding of where to find data, what each dataset represents, and the kinds of questions it can inform, in addition to the role and use of predictive models such as classical statistical and machine-learning models.
