Talk:ISSS608 2016-17 T3 Anuthama Patterns of Life

Rogers.2016 (talk) : Hi Anuthama!! Interesting visuals.

Positives about your visualization:

1. The chord plot helped me to understand the traffic movements like how many traffic moved from location point A to B. This can help to uncover interesting patterns.

2. The calendar heat clearly tells us the peak days and peak time which I actually missed out in my task. Really good to know the peak days before analyzing the patterns.

3. The patterns on location count over time shows us the peak hours where we observe most of the traffic counts.

Improvements

1. The disadvantage of chord plots is that it tells you only the similar patterns between 2 locations and not more than that. Say if want to know similar patterns for more 3 locations, which in this case happens a lot, it would be hard to determine using chord plot. A geo-visualization would be more preferred to show patterns that spans more than 2 location points.

2. Chord plot would be even more interesting if you add a time filter on top to show how did the movements vary over the hours.

Great visualizations, great analysis. Only suggestion is, probably dynamic visualizations or dashboards can be included but probably, that can be incorporated for future work as well. Overall, precise and interesting visualizations.
