Hello and thanks for the links. I liked these too: http://users.design.ucla.edu/~akoblin/work/faa/ There are several different visualisations of airtraffic/impact. Everyone I've shown as well as being impressed, wants it mashed up over some other geographic information, so that the viewer has more idea of what is where. Being able to zoom into this sort of thing and render it slightly differently depending on scale would be great.

I hope you'll enjoy it too. Mornin' Folks, I'd like to share my weekend project with you, a visualization of Google Transit Feed Spec-formatted transit data. These videos, produced using the rad programming language 'Processing', display a dynamic map of the progression of all vehicles in a transit system over a span of time. Little erupting circles signal the departure of a vehicle from a stop. I've produced four so far, three of which I've uploaded to Flickr: Portland Trimet, Weekday, from 4 AM to 12 Midnight: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ewedistrict/2549055956/ Orange County Transit Authority, Weekday, 4 AM to 12 Midnight: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ewedistrict/2548290813/ Bay Area Rapid Transit, Weekday, 4 AM to 12 Midnight: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ewedistrict/2549149806/ * *I made this as an illustration and confirmation of the principle that Joe just posted about (http://www.yjolt.org/11/fall/robinson-0)- that government is better suited to the creation and dissimination of raw data, and the community is far better suited to community-facing applications. Moreover, while open data is good, open _standards_ are even better, effectively greasing the skids for innovation. I'm an alright programmer but I'm a terrible artist. In the hopes someone can take this work and make it even prettier, I've included the source code under the MIT license. -B _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
