(5)How we found
the worst place to park in New York.
Ben Wellington is a data scientist from New
York. He’s pretty amazed will the last government movement in his city, Free data.
It could be crazy but data is very important to find quickly solutions in a
city with billions of people.
B.Wellington explains that lots of city
different departments started to publish information in pdf, this format makes people
hard to work with because you can’t copy and modify information but,
several users by using a special
decodification systems they generate programs
that lock download and extract certain information from certain department allowing
them do work with graphics. The most amazing example is from traffic control by
analyzing information people made a map where in certain part there was a really
big number of fines made. In that locations they`re certain areas near fire
hydrant (were you’re not allowed to park) really bad marked. Thanks to free
data these problems have been success.
According to Ben this is the way of making a efficient
city.
