The project, called OSCUR (Open-Source Cyberinfrastructure for Urban Computing Research), aims to make complex urban data more accessible and usable for researchers worldwide, enabling them to collaborate on solutions to urban challenges such as transportation and climate change.
One of OSCUR's key innovations is its ability to handle diverse types of urban data, from traditional tabular datasets to complex spatial information and sensor readings, making the platform easy to use for varying levels of technical expertise.
The team behind OSCUR places a strong emphasis on developing a comprehensive user-friendly suite of tools and resources for collecting and analyzing urban data, ensuring accessibility to researchers, city planners, and community groups.
The OSCUR project emerged from Cláudio Silva's involvement with CUSP, which was co-founded at NYU Tandon in 2012, showcasing a lineage of impactful and innovative urban computing research.
