From the Back Cover

This book offers a unique introduction to the application of data science for transport professionals and students of transport studies. Based on a course taught by the Leeds Institute for Transport Studies, the world's leading center for training transport professionals, it represents the first textbook in this new area.

As transportation planning has become increasingly data-driven, all graduate students and transport professionals urgently need to update their skills to include databases, machine learning, Bayesian statistics, geographic information system (GIS), and big data tools. Similarly, transport professionals including national and local government planners, transport consultants, and car company engineers are called upon to integrate these disparate areas with a specific focus on transportation issues, such as maps.

The textbook also features a downloadable software package with all of the open source tools and libraries used in code examples throughout the book, including Python, Spyder, PostGIS, PyMC and GPy installations. As such, it offers a unique resource for graduate/advanced undergraduate students and instructors in transportation studies, urban and regional planning, engineering and geography, as well as transportation professionals.

Dr. Charles Fox is a University Academic Fellow in Vehicle and Road Automation at the Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds. He researches autonomous off-road, on-road, and road-side perception, control and data analytics systems, using primarily Bayesian methods. Recent projects include IBEX2 off-road autonomous agricultural vehicles, featured in The Times and on the Discovery Channel; INTERACT pedestrian detection analytics for autonomous vehicles, with BMW; UDRIVE data mining of manual car driving big data to identify causes of dangerous driving, with Volvo; and Automated Number Plate Recognition analytics for Mouchel and the Highways Agency.
Dr. Fox holds a first class MA degree in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge, MSc with Distinction in Informatics from the University of Edinburgh, and a DPhil in Pattern Analysis and Machine Learning from the Robotics Research Group at the University of Oxford. He has workedas a researcher in robotics and data-driven speech recognition at the University of Sheffield for users including the BBC, NHS and GCHQ, and as a high frequency data-driven trader for London hedge fund Algometrics Ltd.
He has published 50 conference and journal papers cited 800 times and has h-index 15. He is a director of Ibex Automation Ltd which advises hedge fund and venture capital clients and is available for consultancy and R&D work in Data Science and Robotics.
