A team of researchers from UBDC have won a top award at the ACM SIGSPATIAL international conference in Atlanta, USA.
The ACM GISCup 2024 competition asked entrants to examine the 'Optimal Minimum Deployment of Electric Vehicle Charging Station Networks' to ensure equitable and efficient access for all users.
The UBDC team - Zixin Feng, Xinyan Xian, Yahya Gamal, supervised by Qunshan Zhao and Alison Heppenstall - developed a three-phase public charger deployment strategy to maximise coverage of local travel demand and EV ownership in Georgia, USA while minimising deployment in areas with high electricity outage potential.
Their award winning conference paper will be available online soon at the address: https://doi.org/10.1145/3678717.3700831.

Introducing the Adzuna teaching dataset
UBDC are excited to announce the launch of ‘Adzuna Teaching’, a small and random subset of our main Adzuna dataset. Adzuna Teaching makes Adzuna accessible to a wider audience, specifically students undertaking research projects and lecturers interested in employment or Smart Data. It will also be of interest to researchers thinking of applying for the full Adzuna dataset. Adzuna Teaching preserves the structure, and contains all variables, of our main Adzuna dataset. It therefore includes detailed information on salary, occupation, sector, seniority, skills, location, and job descriptions. See our Adzuna metadata for all variables included. The dataset represents a random 20,000 subsample of all (deduplicated) UK adverts posted on Adzuna.co.uk in the month of September 2021.
