Traffic Intersection
Given the following set of data, we were asked to create an information visualization in a 16" square:
Broad Street is oriented east and west. Harrison Street is oriented north and south. 11:00 to 11:35 am: 2 vehicles traveling east on Broad Street turn left onto Harrison Street, 19 vehicles traveling south on Harrison Street continue through the intersection, 20 vehicles traveling west on Broad Street turn right onto Harrison Street, 28 vehicles traveling south on Harrison Street turn left onto Broad Street, 30 vehicles traveling south on Harrison Street turn right onto Broad Street, 36 vehicles traveling north on Harrison Street continue through the intersection, 45 vehicles traveling north on Harrison Street turn left onto Broad Street, 55 vehicles traveling east on Broad Street turn right onto Harrison Street, 65 vehicles traveling north on Harrison Street turn right onto Broad Street, 96 vehicles traveling west on Broad Street turn left onto Harrison Street, 101 vehicles traveling west on Broad Street continue through the intersection, 144 vehicles traveling east on Broad Street continue though the intersection.
Posters 1 and 2 visualize the frequency of individual letterforms used in the written description above (ambient data). The Weaving visualizes the data described, a single thread representing an individual vehicle and the four different colors representing four different starting points.
