A Data Visualization Project Project 2: CITY OF AUSTIN DATA
TEAM COOLNAME: Mike Barajas Emily Cogsdill Hetal Patel Drupad Vaghela
Github: https://github.com/kenyanbapu/Dataviz2
Data Source:
We will be plotting data from the City of Austin. There are two datasets under consideration: Traffic data https://data.austintexas.gov/Transportation-and-Mobility/Real-Time-Traffic-Incident-Reports/dx9v-zd7x Pros: data are already clean Cons: not as cool as crime data Crime data https://data.austintexas.gov/Public-Safety/APD-Incident-Extract-YTD/b4y9-5x39 Pros: more data, more interesting data Cons: need to scrape to get lat/longs SUPER BONUS STRETCH GOAL: use both datasets
We will begin development using Traffic data, and incorporate (or switch to) the crime data if and when we scrape the lat/longs for the addresses in that dataset.
Desired Output:
We will be creating an interactive dashboard that contains the following plots and filters:
Filters:
Incident type: User selects from a dropdown menu to choose the type of traffic incidents they want to include in the dashboard.
Date range: User indicates start and end date of the data they want to include in the dashboard
Plots:
Map: For this we plan to find a new library, since there are a lot of libraries. We could map something like density of incidents for geographic areas (e.g., by zip code, with darker colors showing areas with higher rates of traffic incidents).
Line plots (accidents over time) - with sliders to select time periods (like we did with the stock thing using plotly)
Pie chart: Top 10 types of traffic incidents in the selected time period
Tasks
Data cleaning: already done for traffic data lat/long scraping (Mike volunteers as tribute) Setting up the database, flask API routes (Emily) Javascript development (Hetal) Create plots using Javascript (all of us?) Map: Find a new library and plot a thing Line charts: (Hetal) Pie chart: (Emily) Front-end development - make it look reasonable (Mike, ???)
