Transport Data from EZlink Singapore is a highly urbanised city state with a good network of public transport. It is important to understand how the population flows within the city state through the public transport system. The public transport planners will need to understand the characteristics of the population commuting on the public transport system, especially the public bus system. The public bus system has a greater reach to majority of the population and is more dynamic in nature as compared to the train system. By understanding the characteristics of the commuters, it will allow the planners to twist the public bus system in order to make it more efficiency and support the initiative of a car-lite society.

Analysing Rise in Temperatures and Its Causes Globally Through Interactive Visualizations Climate change and global warming are material and contemporary issues that are gaining traction from countries all over the world. Global citizens of all ages and economic backgrounds are faced with unwanted effects of climate change today. As the buzz around global warming continues to increase, this contemporary issue has incited many relevant visualisations. Through this project, we analyse the key contributors to climate change namely: Fossil fuel consumption, adoption/rejection of renewable energy, electricity consumption, deforestation rate, and greenhouse gas emissions. The residual impact of these factors to facilitate the rise of global temperature has been captured for 86 countries around the world. While most contemporary visualisations focus on individual environmental hazards such as increased rates of carbon emissions or the rapid rise in temperature, our analysis attempts to connect the dots to better understand the cause-and-effect nature of global warming. Through our visualisations, we depict the causal effect between the factors which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting impact on increase in temperature from the year 1990 to 2012. Furthermore, we attempt to forecast the aforementioned causal effects and the net rise in temperature for ten subsequent years to better understand the variation in each factor over time. |

Smart Mall Application: Visual Application Design for Brick-and-Mortar Retailers With growing popularity of e-commerce and online shopping, traditional brick & mortar retail malls are facing stiff challenge to reinvent itself with unique preposition.
Also as part of the Smart-Nation drive and transformation, retail malls can and needs to leverage on this digital transformation journey. In this connected era, shoppers are actively leaving their digital footprints, and hence they can be tracked just like on-line customers. Retail malls are able to gather this data from Wi-Fi. Along with the typical transaction data gathered from daily operations and customers profile data obtained from loyalty programs, how can we bridge the information and re-produce the shoppers journey? And how can visualization techniques assist in deriving insights and forming business strategies?

Immigration As a phenomenon, migration is not new, and people have been moving from place to place since the dawn of time. Migration could be either permanent or temporal. The causes of migration are varied, ranging from social, political, to economic reasons. Theories of migration tend to focus on push-pull factors of source and destination countries. However, any migration flow is both a product of these factors as well as the relevant immigration policies of regulating cross border flows. Given all these factors, it is difficult to study the determinants of migration. Currently, attempts at visualising migration flows are more descriptive than analytic, focusing on the flows (particularly on the type) rather than the reasons for the flows. Examples range from general migration data, to refugees, and even human trafficking flows. There have also been attempts to visualize migration using proxies, such as tax return data and remittance data. We developed an analytical framework to explore determinants of migration i.e. how the attributes of source and destination countries are related to in and out migration rates of these countries . Using R/Shiny and other packages, we attempted to integrate bilateral migration flow data with data describing the characteristics of both source and destination countries, drawing data from the World Bank, the Polity IV dataset, and measures from the Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension Theory. This culminated in the design of an analytical dashboard that allows users to perform exploratory data analysis to aid policy and academic research on migration. |

Geo-spatial analysis of vehicle movement data to uncover patterns and detect anomalies Geo-spatial analysis is a subject of growing interest owing to numerous reasons - but a clear driver is data availability and data accessibility. The rise of the sensors and IOT era has made data capture by independent organizations and bodies plausible and this improves accessibility to movement data which was earlier limited to usage by government bodies and leading researchers. Our study utilizes data from a Natural Preserve to explore vehicle movement patterns. The scope includes the analysis and visual representation of frequency related findings such as ‘peak and non-peak periods’ and route related findings such as ‘path navigation through the preserve’ with the aid of interactive dashboards. The primary framework used for analysis and visualization is rShiny. There are several packages in R that enable us to create a seamless interactive interface for connecting and exploring the data. We have incorporated calendar heat maps to understand the peak and non-peak cycles across months, day of the weeks and hour of the day. This has enabled us to plot all the movement data over time on a single view. The patterns and trends identified can be used to drill down for further exploration. The route taken by the vehicles was explored using Sunburst diagrams. This has been used to view a summary of the paths taken and understand the more popular paths. Common destinations and starting points can be easily identified and compared. The interactive dashboards have been developed to accommodate the analysis of other sources of movement related data to retain reusability of dashboards and extend its usage for other purposes where deemed suitable. Future works can include incorporating speed related elements in analysis. |

Even though Zika virus has been identified as early as in 1940s, it wasn't widely reported till it outbroke rapidly in south America in 2015. In Singapore, the first case was found in August 2016. Within 2 months, there are more than 400 cases identified locally. In this project, we will exam spread pattern of the Zika virus, are there any relationship between the weather or geolocation and the spread of this virus. |

Performance Decomposition of China Listed Firms In recent years, terrorism attacks in the western world are the centre of focus and receive extensive reporting. However, terrorist attacks in the Middle East, South America, Africa and South Asia often receive much less attention or totally neglected. This creates a perspective that is far from the truth. We aim to present a holistic picture of the global terrorist attacks: across time, countries, targets and methods, to help the viewers have a better understanding of terrorist attacks in various countries during different periods of time. As such, we have built an interactive dashboard visualisation that showcases the changes in terrorist attacks from 1985 to 2016. |

Characterising Pandemic Spread Using R A pandemic is an epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease that spreads rapidly not only to many people, but across countries. The unprecedented mobility of people and food over the last 30 years has seen a steady increase in the frequency and diversity of disease outbreaks. No country is immune to this growing global threat. Scientists are predicting that it is not a matter of if, but when the next pandemic will happen. Singapore, as a small city state, with the highest population density in the world and one of the highest air passenger traffic, is particularly vulnerable. There are reasons to remain optimistic, as Singapore’s SMART Nation initiatives and modern healthcare systems’ electronic records have open up new possibilities in the fight against potential infectious disease outbreaks in the country. Data will be increasingly ubiquitous as the world, including Singapore, continues to make significant advancement in the digitalisation age. Insights from the data have the potential to offer a critical line of preparedness needed through early identification, rapid effective response, and containment of disease outbreaks. Using R programming to analyse a synthetic dataset (i.e. computer- and human-generated data) relating to a major disease outbreak that spanned several cities across the world in 2009, we have developed a visualisation tool and deployed it as an interactive dashboard prototype via R Shiny. This visualisation tool can potentially be used by health officials to analyse the hospitalisation data and characterise the spread of the pandemic across countries should an actual disease outbreak happen. We have demonstrated the capabilities of this visualisation tool through the use of calendar heatmap, trellis plot and other new visualisation graphing methods. The efficacy of each of these visual analytics techniques will be discussed in detail. We will also suggest possibilities for future works by combining hospital records with other data sources. |

Airlines Network in India For a developing country like India, transportation infrastructure is one of the most important indicators for its economic growth. They form the backbone of tourism industry, support movement of goods and people across the country and hence drives the country’s economic growth. Roadways, railways and airways are the major means of transportation in India, however the contribution of airways is small as compared to that of the other two. With the coming of the Narendra Modi government, the civil aviation sector is growing at a rapid rate and with the shift in the govt policy there is expectation of addition of several low-cost private air service providers in the region. These players often offer competitive pricing and thereby driving the air traffic. Understanding of these transportation system is important for many reasons of policy, administration and efficiency. In the past, several studies have been purposed for WAN (worldwide airport network) where it was observed that the most connected nodes are not necessarily the most “central” nodes through which most of the shortest path goes. The reason for this was suggested as geo political constraints. India being a democratic country having 100's of political parties may follow this trend as far as airport network in India is concerned. Our project aims to find out whether this hypothesis is true.
