Goal

In this tutorial you will learn how you can upload your own movement path data files.

The platform supports multiple types of data sets.

This tutorial covers uploading movement path data, which is data consisting of trips along a road network where each trip is defined by a sequence of roads followed.

Uploading movement path data involves two major steps:

  • First you need to create a GeoJSON data set that represents the road network on which the movement paths are defined. The file for this is a (zipped) .geojson file.

  • Next, you create a second data set of type Movement path data. This data set contains the trips of vehicles along the roads of the first data set. The file for this is a (zipped) .csv file.a

Creating each of these two data sets is a two-step process as well:

  1. You need to tell the platform how your files are structured and which properties or columns contain the data you are interested in.

  2. Once a data set is configured, you can start uploading your files.

This tutorial will guide you through these steps using a set of example files.

Free trial accounts don’t support uploading your own data

This tutorial uses functionality that is not included in the free trial version of the platform.
