Let the Data Speak for Itself: Developing a New Data Dashboard for a Hanoi Transport Survey

Hanoi is a rapidly expanding city with sprawling infrastructure dominated by private vehicles— predominantly motorbikes—that often follow an informal set of traffic rules. Therefore, a bespoke household survey is currently being conducted that collects information about demographics, trip data, vehicle ownership, attitudes towards a proposed motorbike ban and others. This project develops a data dashboard using R Shiny to serve as a communication tool of the survey findings. The interim development of the dashboard is discussed with the breakdown of both the functionality (what the user sees) and the code (the development process and the structure of the app).
