Introduction to data analysis with R using NGSIM vehicle trajectory data

This intensive workshop offers attendees the opportunity to learn various data analysis techniques in R programming language. The data set used in this workshop is NGSIM vehicle trajectory data.

At the end of the workshop, attendees will create a shiny application to explore the Gipps car-following model. All materials will remain available on Github.
