The aesthetics of Lisbon traffic by pmcruz shows the data collected from 1534 vehicles travelling around Lisbon in October 2009. The darker areas show the intense traffic areas and draw focus to the main traffic routes.

Lisbon’s Morphing City (Pedro M. Cruz)

The Morphing City is a visualization study where a city mutates its shape accordingly with the traffic on its main arteries. Those morphs tend to traduce the actual perceived distances within a city, bypassing the common perception based on its geographical mapping.This visualization model was executed for the city of Lisbon. To attain it, topological information was gathered from OpenStreetMap to build a skeleton for the city based on its main arteries. The bones of the skeleton are springs that get compressed or distended accordingly with the detected velocities over it. Those distortions affect all the neighboring points and springs as the system is all interconnected.
