Time lapse video of global air traffic over 24 hours
- raheemm 18y agoThat is super cool! Esp seeing the day move!
- river_styx 18y agoBad title. Time lapse implies a series of photographs, whereas this is a visualization of flight path data. Still very cool.
- d0mine 18y agoI don't know what is the value, but it certainly looks nice. http://www.aaronkoblin.com/work/flightpatterns/FPWeb_Final_3.mov http://www.aaronkoblin.com/work/flightpatterns/FPWeb_Final_3...
- chomchom 18y agoThat is amazing. I like how there is a visible correlation between the time of day and the flow of traffic.
- lbrandy 18y agoYes, it's especially obvious in the Europe <-> US traffic. It's mostly one way, depending on the time of day.
- tlrobinson 18y agoReally cool. You can see waves of red-eye flights arriving just as the sun comes up.
- danw 18y agoThose interested should get hold of a copy of episode 1 of BBC's 'Britain from Above', it's a whole show visualizing everything from airtraffic to mobile phone usage.
- danw 18y agoShow info at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00d23yx http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00d23yx, preview clips at http://www.bbc.co.uk/britainfromabove/stories/visualisations/channel.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/britainfromabove/stories/visualisations... and a bittorrent copy is apparently available from MVGroup for those who don't have access to BBC iPlayer

- KiwiNige 18y agoreminds me of an ant farm....
- albertcardona 18y agoInterestingly, the pattern of busy areas correlate with the world cities from which my website get the most traffic. It's a website about science and programming. The rest of the world (mostly Africa and some parts of central Asia and north-western South America) doesn't seem to use internet much, neither abundant flights, neither perhaps population that can access those (or population at all).
- boredguy8 18y agoThe video I really wanted to see was "this" on 9/11. I wonder if it looked similar to what happens if you 'interrupt' a stream of ants and the 'panic' sets in.
- dcurtis 18y agoYou can see this live at FlightAware.com. You can watch specific airports, flights, aircraft, etc... http://flightaware.com/live/ http://flightaware.com/live/
