Project Details:
“Vancouver Learns to Park” was developed as a term project for SFU’s CMPT 767 – Visualization course. The tool is intended to provide insights & identify trends & outliers in Vancouver Parking Enforcement that would be otherwise invisible in the 2011-2013, 2014-2016, & 2017-2019 parking ticket records provided by the city of Vancouver’s Open Data Portal. It aims to reveal:
- Patterns in citations:
-
- Disproportionately targeted bylaws
- Periods and locations of high/low enforcement
-
- Insights into the daily/weekly routines of the city of Vancouver’s Parking Enforcement Officers
By mapping the parking ticket records, the tool recovers the geospatial context of the data that is otherwise invisible in tabulated records. Additionally, a map provides incidental metadata about the geographic context of parking ticket records, allowing additional insights & associations to be discovered.
The use-case for this tool is for parking enforcement scheduling or coverage review, and will hopefully peak the curiosity of Vancouver drivers!
