Madrid cycle track: visualizing the cyclable city

ABSTRACTMaps are currently experiencing a paradigm shift from static representations to dynamic platforms that capture, visualize and analyse new data, bringing different possibilities for exploration and research. The first objective of this paper is to present a map that illustrates, for the first time, the real flow of casual cyclists and bike messengers in the city of Madrid. The second objective is to describe the development and results of the <i>Madrid Cycle Track</i> initiative, an online platform launched with the aim of collecting cycling routes and other information from volunteers. In the framework of this initiative, different online maps are presented and their functionalities described. Finally, a supplemental video visualizes the cyclist flow over the course of a day.

摘要 当前地图正经历从静态展示向动态平台的范式转变，这类平台可捕获、可视化并分析新型数据，为探索与研究带来全新可能。本文首要目标是首次呈现一幅地图，该地图直观展示了西班牙马德里市休闲骑行者与自行车信使的真实通行流量。其次，本文将阐述《马德里骑行道》（Madrid Cycle Track）项目的开发过程与成果——这是一个旨在从志愿者处收集骑行路线及其他相关信息的在线平台。在此项目框架内，本文将展示多款在线地图并介绍其功能。最后，本文附带一段补充视频，可视化呈现了单日的骑行者通行流量变化。
