Visualization of the traffic situation in the “SmartCity” Basel

Keywords: Data Visualization

Setup the Environment:

For the creation of the enviroment I recommend to use a Conda Enviroment, due to dependenciy problems regarding geopandas, geoplot, cartopy and pyproj. Therefore the Repository provides the enviroment.yml for installing the necessary dependencies.

For creating the environment use:

conda env create -f environment.yml

Description:

This repository was created as part of the examination of the module Data Visualization 2023 (Master Digital Science) and contains the used code, part of the used datasets and the project presentation and related images from this project.

Structure of this Repository

• data\: Datasets used for the visualizations
• project_presentation\: Powerpoint presentation regarding the project
• scripts\: Code implementation of the underlying visualizations
