Project Statistics

[Jim]

I have been working with TM/METAL data and some of my programs that process it, and decided to run the "edge length distribution" on tm-master.tmg.  Lengths below in miles.  Note that is a "collapsed" graph, so these are distances between visible waypoints, taking into account any shaping points along the connection between them.

Code: [Select]

Edge length distribution (exponential):
0.0 <= len < 0.125: 19167
0.125 <= len < 0.25: 30330
0.25 <= len < 0.5: 65020
0.5 <= len < 1.0: 121695
1.0 <= len < 2.0: 166518
2.0 <= len < 4.0: 140926
4.0 <= len < 8.0: 78753
8.0 <= len < 16.0: 19516
16.0 <= len < 32.0: 3988
32.0 <= len < 64.0: 997
64.0 <= len < 128.0: 167
128.0 <= len < 256.0: 13

Here's the top 20:

Inspired by some of the earlier discussion about what states have the most travelers, I made this map for the US and Canada:

I believe that we can make a similar map in Mapview now for each specific segment (if your computer can handle all of the memory for each region in North America, etc.) via using Color by Traveler Count instead of Highway System Colors.

I'm surprised Wyoming has more travellers than Ontario... given that Wyoming's population is 500k and Ontario is 13 million

Yes, I have seen that page and it is a TON of data when trying to view a large area.

You'd probably also be surprised by how many US travelers have never been to Canada. Unlike Canada, much of the US population doesn't live near the border, so crossing it seems like a big deal. 

North Dakota is the only lower-48 state with fewer travelers than Ontario, with 112 (Ontario has 144).

I am one of them.  I never even have seen Canada until my recent visit to Niagara Falls on the US Side.

Mapview in its current implementation is definitely not meant to be zoomed out too much.  If you do, be prepared to wait for the data to be pulled from the database, for that data to be transmitted to your browser, and for your browser to decipher it and plot it on the map.

I've thought about CHM-style maps for heavy-duty applications like this.
But at least with where my coding knowledge is currently at, it's a steep hill to climb.

Great

Sure, but it doesn't sum up per region.

[Bickendan]

Amusing that Washington holds more TM tracking than Oregon.

Be awesome if a similar map for Europe could be generated.

[si404]

The 'banana' is surprisingly dominant. I wasn't expecting it to be quite so.

Nice! I guess I might as well post this one too seeing as I'd already made it, but I think I like yours better, broken down by region.

I just want to note that we are only 11 routes away from having 50,000 active routes, and 3,634 miles from 1.2 million active miles.
I think that either oscar with usaca or si404 with isrr+lsoa+gnbn+gabn activation will do the trick (hopefully soon)

Looks like si404 beat me to the punch on one or both thresholds. I was going to hold off until the next system update, to make sure my latest pull requests (which Si has merged) made usaca ready for activation, before submitting my activation pull requests. That would also make sure my activation requests don't conflict with Si's.

usaca is a huge system, with 268 routes and about 11,000 miles. By itself it would easily exceed the above thresholds, even if Si's new systems somehow don't.

Yeah, but given that the Northeast+Midwest (which has a sizable number of the US population) is closer to the Windsor-Quebec corridor in Canada (which also has a majority of Canada's population) than to Wyoming, I thought that Canada would be a more likely destination than Wyoming
