Phew! It’s been quite a month. As we develop business models for collecting and adding value to travel information, both local and central government have been busy releasing large quantities of public data through the London DataStore and data.gov.uk. Jonathan was heavily involved in the launch of the London DataStore as Chair of the event: you can see him introducing Boris Johnson and interviewing Sir Simon Milton in the coverage of the launch.
Placr are very well positioned to exploit these developments as we have a great deal of experience in capturing, rationalising and analysing complex real time data sets. We are working on a number of significant opportunities in this area at the moment, and hope to open some services within a few weeks in association with OpenTravel. It’s going to be an interesting year!
