The purpose of this application is to visualize 2019 taxi data in Chicago. Like in Project 1 and Project 2. There were several timeframe filters that the user is able to see the data from, including:
Day of the Week - the user can see the number of rides that occurred every day of the week of 2019 (ex. how many rides occurred on Monday in 2019)
Day of the Year - the user can see the number of rides that occurred every day of 2019 (ex. how many rides occurred on January 1st in 2019)
Month of the Year - the user can see the number of rides that occurred every month of 2019 (ex. how many rides occurred on January in 2019)
Time - the user can see the number of rides that occurred at a certain hour of the day (ex. how many rides occurred at 12 PM)
In addition to specifically timeframe filters, the user also has the option to see under the scope of:
Number of seconds rides in 2019 took
Number of miles rides in 2019 took
Upon opening the application, the user is met with three options:
The first option is the dashboard tab (which starts on the screen by default). On the dashboard tab, the user will see bar charts and data tables showcasing the data that went into those bar charts. The bar charts and data tables show the aforementioned timeframe and other filters for every taxi ride taken in 2019.
The second option is the Community Area tab. The bar charts and data tables show the same things as mentioned in the dashboard explanation, but with an additional constraint of picking a community area as well as whether the ride was to pick up a person from the selected community area or to drop them off to the selected community area. The way the user can select a community area is either by selecting it on the map or selecting it on the dropdown titled "Select Community Area".
If the user chooses to select the community area on the map, a popup will appear showing the exact percentage of rides in the area
The final option is the Company tab. The only difference between the company tab and the community area tab is that the user can pick which company they want to see data for by using the "Select Company" dropdown.
For the Community Area and Company tabs, the application's default is to show pickup data, but the user can select dropoff under "Choose Pickup or Dropoff" to see dropoff data.
One final thing to note about the use of the application is that there is an option for if the user wants to see the data in Miles or Kilometers (under "Choose Miles or KM"). In addition to that, there is also an option for the user to see the data in 12-hour time or 24-hour time ("Choose 12-hour time or 24-hour time). These options work for all of the above-mentioned tabs.
