Task 3

Visualisation Links & Conclusion

 



Task Requirement

Identify those IDs that stand out for their large volumes of communication. For each of these IDs
1. Characterize the communication patterns you see.
2. Based on these patterns, what do you hypothesize about these IDs?
Note: Please limit your response to no more than 4 images and 300 words.


IDs with large Communication Volume

As shown in Figure 1, most visitors had sent and received messages in the range of 0 to 200 text messages. There are a groups of visitors had more than 3000 of the communication volume. The three significant IDs that stand out with large communication volume are 1278894, 839736 and External, they had the communication volume (in terms of messages sent & received) of more than 60,000.

Fig1


Next, we will examine each of these IDs with a more detailed analysis.


About ID 1278894

Fig2



Findings
Number of Messages Sent & received

  • The number of messages sent and received by this ID has a consistent trend over the same day at regular hours. Largest communication volume observed on Sunday, followed by Sat, and least volume on Friday.
  • The messages sent by 1278894 appeared in only five periodic hours a day: 12:00, 14:00, 16:00, 18:00 and 20:00 (See Chart 1).

Communication between 1278894 and other visitors

  • The communication patterns between 1278894 and its receiver IDs also appeared to be in regular and consistent manner happened in same 5 hours as in Chart 1.

Location of 1278894

  • Most of the messages were sent out at Entry Corridor by 1278894.


To sum up, periodicity is the most important feature observed for ID 1278894. ID 1278894 sends and receives messages to multiple park visitors. From the figure above, this ID sent messages, and others IDs responded, at regular intervals at 12noon, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm. Then the communication pattern ceased for an interval.

Since its location is at Entry Corridor, this ID could be a park service ID which broadcasted periodical information service, and sent information related to some interactive games between the park services and other visitors.

Findings

The communications between 839736 and any visitor always run back and forth. This is a common feature for both 839736 and 1278894, but 1278894 sent texts to visitors first and then received from same visitors’ replies.

ID 839736 communicates with messages to several different park visitors throughout the day at no fixed interval. However, there was a high communication spike happened on Sunday (8June) about noon time. We will further investigate this abnormal pattern in Task 2.

The 839736 pattern could also be some form of communication between the park management / help desk with the park visitors.
