Data

The data for this project details an 'array of things' regarding Chicago, such as infrastructure and environmental factors, as well as activity. Array of Things offers data (on an array of things) for several different cities, in a variety of different scopes, such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc.

As mentioned before, we're looking at Chicago specifically. Certain types of data we've included specifically, are an interactive map, air pollutant types, temperature, light intensity, and humidity.

Here, we can see the city of Chicago data portal, as featured on Array of Things, and the various sorts of infrastructure/environmental/activity data it offers. Like the last project, because we utilized so much data (by the minute), it needed to be 'massaged'/refined prior to being processed in R. This is the data file we used.

Sensors that the data was collected:

• Airsense
• Lightsense
• Chemsense
• Alphasense

I found it interesting to know more about these sensors since it shows what it is made out of and what it does.

Pics of the sensors are below:
