Dataset Constraints

In order to fit a wide range of data and be able to convert this data into nodes and edges, we should define some constraints on the dataset:

  • File should be in CSV format with headers.

  • Each time based data row must contain the following fields:

    Start node: longitude, latitude, ID
    End node: longitude, latitude, ID
    Edge info: startTime, stopTime, ID

  • Each time based data row may have additional fields:

    bikeID
    usertype
    birth year
    gender

Example dataset

In our example Hubway dataset, each row does meet the requirements and contains the following fields:

"tripduration",
"starttime",
"stoptime",
"start station id",
"start station name",
"start station latitude",
"start station longitude",
"end station id",
"end station name",
"end station latitude",
"end station longitude",
"bikeid",
"usertype",
"birth year",
"gender"
