Description
In this project, we propose OD-Wheel, a novel visual design and associated analysis tool, to explore OD patterns. Once users define a region, all taxi trips starting from or ending to that region are selected and grouped into OD clusters. With a hybrid circular-linear visual design, OD-Wheel allows users to explore the dynamic patterns of each OD cluster, including the variation of traffic flow volume and travel time. The proposed tool supports convenient interactions and allows users to compare and correlate the patterns between different OD clusters. With real taxi GPS trajectories, we present a use study to demonstrate the effectiveness of OD-Wheel.
