Building City Dashboards

Building City Dashboards The information displayed on these webpages, known as city dashboards, is varied and includes traffic, travel, weather, education, health and employment.

The Building City Dashboards (BCD) project is a SFI funded research project based in the National Centre for Geocomputation in Maynooth University (Grant number 15/IA/3090). The Building City Dashboards project is a Science Foundation Ireland project that seeks to design and build interactive and accessible webpages for use by citizens, businesses and local authorities to access real-time and stat

ic information about their city. We have been involved in building dashboards for both Dublin and Cork and hope to inform dashboard development internationally. The research team, based in the National Centre for Geocomputation, is working on 3 core issues:
1) Data problems: establishing and ensuring data quality and veracity; creating and implementing new data standards; handling and combining varied datasets; processing and archiving real-time data; producing new official statistics based on big data;

2) Visualisation and interaction problems: producing effective visualisations and visual analytics; creating optimal visualisations for different devices and platforms; developing augmented reality and alternative data presentations; improving user experience and social interaction with data;

3) Analytics/modelling problems: moving beyond visual analytics to perform data analytics, statistical modelling, and generate and evaluate predictions, simulations, and optimisations. For more information about the project please visit our website here.

Experimenting with initial 3D printed models of Dublin at 1:2000 scale and map projecting OSM. Filament makes a big difference to quality of projection. Waiting on 1:1000 test tiles. Happy enough for first passes.
