This is the public repository for all of the code associated with Lane Breach, a digital platform for bringing safety to the cyclists riding along the streets of San Francisco.
We want to create an online platform that serves as the centerpoint for cyclist data in San Francisco. By combining datasets from the city, the SFMTA, and the CHP, we hope to paint a complete picture of the dangers that face bicyclists in the city. This dataset is intended to be used by anyone who wants a better understanding about what factors lead to the large number of bicycle incidents on our streets each year.
Rome wasn't built in a day. To get started, we will be focusing on two main user-facing applications:
- A web-app to display correlated data information
- An iPhone app to streamline reporting of bike lane obstructions to SF's 311 database.
- A Twitter bot that posts interesting interpretations from our database and provides a space to promote and discuss commuter saftey for cyclists.
These applications will be tied together by a back-end service that pulls data from various sources and combines them into a single PostgreSQL database hosted on AWS.
We welcome contributions! All of our contributors are expected to follow the rules outlined in our Code of Conduct. Please create a separate pull request against master for each new feature/bug-fix. We will try to use Github issues whenever possible to describe tasks that we need to do.
Steps for building the various apps, and an overview of the design can be found on the wiki. We're excited to see your PRs!
