MAPPING ORIGIN-DESTINATION PATTERNS IN SPACE AND TIME BY USING INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS

The process of mapping origin-destination patterns by using an interactive graphics program called FLOWMAP is described. FLOWMAP allows the interactive design of flow maps at a graphics terminal by using origin-destination data. The user has several options available that allow changes to be made in the maps quickly and easily to aid their comprehensibility. The program can display the temporal aspect of flows by mapping positive and negative change in flows over time. Several results from using FLOWMAP are displayed taken from various applications. The examples include shopping center travel patterns in Denver and cordon count data collected at the beltway in Washington, D.C. Some cost data for operating the program are presented along with specific hardware and software requirements.
