Real-Time Neuron and Bird Scooter Status in Calgary

Micromobility location data provides real-time statuses for shared electric scooters from Neuron and Bird vendors in Calgary. The dataset includes fields for vehicle availability, battery levels, and geographic coordinates. It is maintained by data.calgary.ca and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Predict scooter availability (is_reserved, is_disabled) in specific city quadrants using latitude, longitude, and timestamp.
• Analyze battery depletion trends (battery_pct) over time (timestamp) by vendor to optimize charging operations.
• Map fleet density and movement patterns by joining point coordinates with Community District Boundaries - 2021 polygons.
• Model temporal demand surges by correlating timestamp, is_disabled status, and Ward Boundaries - 2021 for policy analysis.
• Identify vendor-specific operational zones (vendor) and performance metrics using instance_id and geographic features.

Strengths

• Includes real-time status feeds from two major micromobility vendors (Neuron and Bird).
• Contains multiple geographic reference systems (latitude/longitude, City Quadrants, Ward Boundaries).
• Offers data in four standard file formats (CSV, JSON, XML, RDF).

Limitations

• Exact sample size, total rows, and historical time range are unspecified.
• Geographic coverage is limited to the city of Calgary, Canada.
• License terms for use and redistribution are not declared.
