Project Description

The purpose of this application is to visualize the entries for three different CTA stops in different timeframe filters.

In this application, the CTA stops that are used are:

• UIC-Halsted

• O'Hare Airport

• Cumberland

The timeframe filters that are used are:

• Daily - the user can see the number of entries that occurred every day of the year (ex. how many entries were made on January 1st in 2021)

• Monthly - the user can see the number of entries that occurred every month of the year (ex. how many entries were made on January in 2021)

• Day of the Week - the user can see the number of entries that occurred every day of the week of the year (ex. how many entries were made on Monday in 2021)

Upon opening the application, the user is met with four different choices:

• The first option is to view a bar graph and accompanying data of all the entries that have occurred every day of every year between 2001 and 2021 for each of the three stops. This is contained within the tab called "Dashboard", and it is also the default screen.

• The second option is to compare different bar graphs for the three stops during different years and different timeframe filters. In this tab, the user gets to pick and choose which bar graphs they are interested in viewing by toggling the checkboxes for the different timeframe filters. They can also pick which year they want to see the bar graphs for by using the appropriate dropdown bar and changing the year. The default order of the stops are UIC-Halsted (on the leftmost side of the page), O'Hare Airport (on the middle of the page), and Cumberland (on the rightmost side of the page). In the case that the user would like to change that order for comparison purposes, they can by using the appropriate dropdown bar and changing the stop. This is contained within the tab called "Compare Plots".

• The third option is to compare the data behind the bar graphs for the three stops. All of the alterations that the user can made for the bar graphs, can be made for the tables. This is contained within the tab called "Compare Tables".

• The fourth option is to view a brief summary about the application. This is contained within the tab called "About".
