Are you interested in programming maps, such as GoogleMaps or Open Street Maps? This project uses online maps extensively for visualising routes, and other objects of interest.
Student cohort
Double Semester
Aim/outline
The project involves programming GoogleMaps or OSM using their APIs. This includes identifying road networks and their granularities, cleaning trajectories on road networks, and shortest routes considering various constraints, such as traffic, transport modalities, and costs.
Most of my Master's students were able to publish a paper from their project. The following are some sample papers that they have published from their projects.
- Exploring Park and Ride: A Spatial Analysis of Transit Catchment in Outer Melbourne
- Navigating the Maps: Euclidean vs. Road Network Distances in Spatial Queries
- Comparative GIS Analysis of Public Transport Accessibility in Metropolitan Areas
