Travel time heatmap visualization
November 14th, 2006 | by ian |Some very interesting work happening in the UK by mysociety.org studying travel time related to mode of transport (particularly rail versus car).
I really hope such studies will happen in North America, I suspect it would highlight where it would be efficient to invest in rail infrastructure for commuter and cargo shipping purposes.
It also reminds me of projects using cell phone signals to estimate traffic in real time, which is a clever idea but raises some privacy concerns…
