Nairobi Motorcycle Transit Comparison Dataset: Fuel vs. Electric Vehicle Performance Tracking (2023)
Listed in Teesside University Research Data Repository
This dataset contains GPS tracking data and performance metrics for motorcycle taxis (boda bodas) in Nairobi, Kenya, comparing traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycles with electric motorcycles.
Description
The study was conducted in two phases: Baseline Phase: 118 ICE motorcycles tracked over 14 days (2023-11-13 to 2023-11-26) Transition Phase: 108 ICE motorcycles (control) and 9 electric motorcycles (treatment) tracked over 12 days (2023-12-10 to 2023-12-21) The dataset is organised into two main categories: Trip Data: Individual trip-level records containing timing, distance, duration, location, and speed metrics Daily Data: Daily aggregated summaries containing usage metrics, economic data, and energy consumption This dataset enables comparative analysis of electric vs. ICE motorcycle performance, economic modelling of transportation costs, environmental impact assessment, urban mobility pattern analysis, and energy efficiency studies in emerging markets.
