Show HN: Seattle Traffic Congestion Map, in 3d
This is the normal traffic map that most folks use: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/seattle/
And this map adds a third dimension: http://seattletraffic3d.herokuapp.com/

- aaronbrethorst 15y agoOh right, that's why I live and work on Capitol Hill... Neat! :)
- laconian 15y agoKinda cool, but it bottoms out at 0 degrees of inclination for all Y coordinates in the bottom half of the window, which is a really useless perspective. How about bounding the range of angles, between something like 30 and 90 degrees?
- mopatches 15y agoDone. Good call.
- rajsinghtut 15y agoWhat does the height of the traffic line mean? It's not very clear.
- mopatches 15y agoHigher = slower traffic, the original map used 4 colors to show traffic speed, I kept those colors and made corresponding heights.
- thesash 15y agoPretty cool, what did you use to build it? The navigation was a little difficult to grasp, might be more intuitive with a click and drag interface, or something with buttons i.e. google earth.
- mopatches 15y agoThanks! I used Three.JS for the 3d rendering, Rails for the rest. Good idea on the click/drag UI, I'll think about that for v2! Three.JS: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/ https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/
- thesash 15y agoI came across three.js and was actually looking for it randomly today, very cool.
