BikePaths takes station population data, scraped from the Dublin Bikes site, to create a series of possible journeys. By examining how the station populations change with time we can see when bikes leave and arrive at stations. Journeys are estimated by matching a beginning, a start time and station number, with an end, an arrival time and station number. Path data is approximated from Google maps.
Individual frames are rendered using the matplotlib library, these are then compiled into a video using ffmpeg.
This work was featured in the Science Gallery Hack the City exhibit as part of the DynamicDublin group.
