Interactive Journeys Map

The Journeys Map provides a powerful visualization tool for analyzing transit system usage patterns and passenger movements.

Getting Started​

Time Range Selection​

Time Range Selection

Begin by selecting the time range for your journey analysis. This defines the period for which journey data will be displayed and analyzed.

Map Interface Components​

Journeys Map Interface

The interface consists of six main control sections that allow for detailed data visualization and filtering.

1. Data Summary​

  • Displays filtered journeys / total number of journeys
  • Shows first record date/time
  • Shows last record date/time

2. Layers Control​

Toggle different visualization layers:

  • Trip lines (direct lines: hover over line for trip information)
  • Arc lines (curved journey paths with green as start and red as end)
  • Source journey heatmap
  • Destination journey heatmap
  • Time Arc Colors to color code the start journey color to time of day

3. Time of Day Legend​

  • Color-coded time periods
  • Hover functionality shows specific time ranges
  • Enable/disable specific time periods
  • Corresponds to Time Arc Colors when enabled

4. Distance/Duration Filter​

Filter journeys by distance or duration min/max type:

  • Distance slider: Set minimum and maximum journey distance
  • Duration slider: Set minimum and maximum journey duration in minutes
  • Use both filters together to analyze specific journey segments

5. Types Filter​

Filter journeys by feature type:

  • Cyclist usage
  • Mobility/priority seating usage
  • Combine types for comprehensive analysis

6. Routes Filter​

  • Select specific route IDs
  • Multiple route selection available

    • Enable destination heatmap to see where cyclists/mobility users come from
    • Identify popular origin/destination pairs
  2. With Time Arc Colors
    • Enable Time Arc Colors to visualize time of day behavior for all journeys filtered
  3. With Trip Lines
    • Enable Trip Lines in Layers Control to view the different routes for filtered journeys
  4. With Distance/Duration
    • Adjust min or max Distance/Duration to filter out short or long journeys
