Maps Of The Week
This calendar week the Los Angeles Times created a really impressive visualization of every shot made past times Kobe Bryant inward his long career. Every Shot Kobe Bryant Ever Took allows yous to explore a shot map of Kobe Bryant's 30,699 career shots, both successful in addition to misses.
The map was made alongside CartoDB in addition to Leaflet.js, which agency yous tin displace pan to a greater extent than or less the shot map in addition to zoom inward in addition to out similar yous tin displace on whatever other interactive map. You tin displace too interact alongside all the shot map markers. The regal dot markers on the map dot his successful shots in addition to the yellowish dots exhibit his misses. You tin displace fifty-fifty mouse-over whatever of the dots on the map to notice out which game it was made in, the distance of the shot in addition to the appointment of the game.
Urbica too released a really impressive mapped information visualization this week. The NYC Citi Bike Rebalancing Study visualizes pop trips taken on NYC's Citi Bike network, re-balancing routes (where bikes are moved from station to station) in addition to private bicycle docking station profiles.
One of the biggest problems facing bike-sharing networks, such every bit New York's Citi Bike, is re-balancing the bikes inward the docking stations. Bikes postulate to move moved to a greater extent than or less the docking stations to ensure that stations are non empty in addition to that bikes are e'er available. Uneven need in addition to daily traffic flows (particularly during altitude commuting times) tin displace preclude bike-share networks reaching their total potential.
There are 2 visualization modes on the map. The 'Trips vs Rebalancing' fashion allows yous to thought trip routes in addition to compare this to the re-balanced cycle routes. If yous select an private station on the map yous tin displace too thought the average availability of bikes at the station over 24 hours.
The 'Station Availability' fashion shows the per centum of bikes available at stations for whatever hr of the day. If yous piece of job the timeline at the bottom of the map yous tin displace run across how the availability of bikes at each station changes over the shape of the day.
