Data ManagementBeginnerClear all
  1. Not started, Can the cycle parking feed report real capacity?Data preparationSQL

    Clean a Berlin cycle parking staging table for an operations map and capacity rollup.

    Data ManagementbeginnerDifficulty: beginner130 XP~25 min7 checks

    You hand in a spatial SQL query.

    Dataset

    • Berlin bicycle parking capacity staging · Point · 27 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Resolve source precedence before casting.
    • Keep unknown capacity distinct from zero.
    • Return geometry for the operational map.

  4. Not started, What is Greater London made of?Raster analysisAnswers

    A class histogram on a 10 m land-cover raster: the shares a planning document quotes, and the reason a pixel count is not quite an area.

    Remote SensingbeginnerDifficulty: beginner140 XP~25 min5 checks

    You hand in your answers as values.

    Dataset

    • Greater London land cover 2021 (ESA WorldCover 10 m) · Raster · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Read a categorical raster and count pixels per class
    • Express classes as shares of the valid pixels
    • State what the number is and is not

  5. Not started, Which airport codes will break the schedule join?Data qualityAnswers

    Audit a registry's identifiers before they become a join key: missing, malformed and duplicated codes, and positions that are only approximate.

    Data ManagementbeginnerDifficulty: beginner130 XP~25 min5 checks

    You hand in your answers as values.

    Dataset

    • World airports · Point · 893 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Find nulls, duplicates and malformed values in an identifier column
    • Distinguish a key defect from a position defect
    • Report counts the integration can be sized against

  6. Not started, Which airports sit inside a city?Spatial analysisGeoJSON

    Point-in-polygon screening: the airports whose point falls inside a built-up footprint, for a noise-exposure programme.

    Spatial AnalysisbeginnerDifficulty: beginner130 XP~20 min5 checks

    You hand in a GeoJSON result.

    Datasets

    • World airports · Point · 893 features · EPSG:4326
    • Urban areas · Polygon · 2,143 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Test each point for containment in any polygon of a second layer
    • Return the qualifying points once each, with their attributes

  7. Not started, Which boroughs is the cycle-hire scheme actually in?Spatial analysisGeoJSON

    Join 799 docking stations to 33 boroughs and rank them by docks per square kilometre.

    Spatial AnalysisbeginnerDifficulty: beginner130 XP~25 min6 checks

    You hand in a GeoJSON result.

    Datasets

    • London boroughs · Polygon · 33 features · EPSG:4326
    • Santander Cycles docking stations (live snapshot) · Point · 799 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Spatially join docking stations to the borough that contains them
    • Sum docking points per borough without dropping the boroughs that have none
    • Measure borough area in a metric CRS and compute docks per km²
