Works in progress
Richard Milton has completed a draft paper (titled ‘Cities Diagnostics’) examining methods for analysing real-time data related to transport systems. Research relating to the paper includes work on real-time animated 3D London Underground visualisations of tube station locations in WebGL that brings together new web services for pre-processing and presenting real-time data in a format suitable for visualisation, analysis and the detection of problems. An NCRM working paper will be available soon.
