My Bike Safety Net

The Website
K means correlation of bike theft data

Inspiration

Oxford is acknowledged as one of few true 'Cycling Cities' in the United Kingdom. (oxford.gov.uk). As students, we are conscious of the bond between a student and their bike, that's why we've created an interactive map helping identify spots, where you should not leave your bike!

P.S. Non-students are more than welcome to use it too:)!

What it does

It visualizes bike theft data from police.uk and plots it on the one and only Azure Maps. We also provide Machine Learning powered insights on bike thefts.

How we built it

It all runs on Azure and Azure only:

Azure App Service
Azure Maps
Azure Notebooks
Azure Machine Learning Studio
Azure Data Explorer

Challenges we ran into

~~Poorly documented~~ Bleeding edge Azure Maps.
Data preprocessing (missing values)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Using Azure Maps.
Building the heat map!

What we learned

data viz
Azure services and its... perks.

What's next for My Bike Safety Net

Scrape Streetview using Azure Cognitive Services to identify ideal bike parking spots secured by cameras. Implement user contributions. Spread the knowledge and expand it to other cities!
