Background Overview
In this challenge, you will be designing a dashboard for a local transportation authority which will provide interactive graphs and visualizations to identify top road traffic bottlenecks in the city based on GPS probe data.
Challenge Goal
Create a Simple, Modern, Easy to Use and User-Friendly Dashboard design for the application that able to provide useful information about traffic data to the RTA user
Design Consideration
- New and Modern look and feel
- Simulate all possible scenario in the dashboard
- Ability to arrange screen elements in the dashboard for a better visualization
- Simplicity to analyze traffic data
- The Dashboard should be configurable to allow users to select various time intervals, road segments etc.
- The output should be both tabular and a graphical map identifying congested bottlenecks and their associated ranking for the user selected time-period.
Screen Requirements
1) Dashboard Screen
- Use Dubai City map as a base for the map view on your dashboard screen
- Ability to zoom in/out the map into the specific area
- 2D or 3D map view? What is your suggestion?
- Define your data visualization technique, Heatmap Network? Alluvial Diagram? Node-link diagram? what is the best way to presenting the data?
- See how Data visualization for Traffic Reference Screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFv7AFRmmTs (Use this only as References, DO NOT COPY THE LAYOUT)
- There are several interaction and data visualization needed, make sure to simulate all of them completely in your design
- Basically, we want to fetch the data in real time after every 1 to 5 mins depends on the setting and illustrate it
- Need a live version of dashboard monitoring and ability to see recorded dashboard report
- The dashboard should have an ability to give suggestions based on its past experience (AI related)
1.1) Top Traffic Bottlenecks Simulation:
- The Interactive report/dashboard will tabulate and illustrate the road segments/links or set of connected road segments/links which experience the highest levels of congestion for a user-defined time-period.
- The report is expected to include:
-- congested road segments in both tabular and map-based formats,
-- severity rank,
-- the number of occurrences of congestion,
-- average congestion length,
-- the average duration of congestion for each location,
-- revenue impact
-- etc.
- Ranking of bottlenecks should consider based on:
-- Duration of congestion
-- Frequency of congestion
-- Length of congestion
- The report should be configurable to allow users to select various time intervals, road segments etc.
- The output should be both tabular and a graphical map identifying congested bottlenecks and their associated ranking for the user selected time-period.
- Upon selecting each bottleneck, further detailed information should be available such as the rank score, average and free flow speeds, average and free flow travel time and affected road length resulting from the congestion.
- It would be beneficial to demonstrate data-in-motion i.e. track the movement of a single vehicle through congested locations to visualize the pain points on the road network.
1.2) Data
- Assume that the below GPS probe data is available for road segments covering an entire city:
-- Road segment current speed
-- Road segment historical average speed
-- Road segment reference speed (typical speed in free-flow conditions)
-- Road segment travel time (time taken to traverse road segment)
-- Road segment speed bucket (identifies if the road is congested or not)
-- Road segment date-time stamp
-- Confidence value of data
2) Setting Screen
- Ability to setup map size, hide/show features elements, check connection with data source server, etc
- Ability to setup user management (Add/Edit/Delete)
Important:
- Keep things consistent. This means all graphics styles should work together.
- All of the graphics should have a similar feel and general aesthetic appearance
Marvel Prototype
- We need you to upload your screens to Marvel App.
