Questions

1 Patterns of Life : Analyses depend on recognizing repeating patterns of activities by individuals or groups. Describe up to six daily patterns of life by vehicles traveling through and within the park. Characterize the patterns by describing the kinds of vehicles participating, their spatial activities (where do they go?), their temporal activities (when does the pattern happen?), and provide a hypothesis of what the pattern represents (for example, if I drove to a coffee house every morning, but did not stay for long, you might hypothesize I\92m getting coffee \93to-go\94). Please limit your answer to six images and 500 words.

1. Most popular visiting time is July and August.
2. December and January has least visitors (Probably because of winter).

3. We created 2D heatmaps for each Car id per day with x-axis: locations, y-axis: time (5 min bins) and performed Birch clustering over all heatmaps. We prepared Movement vis to analyse the clusters.

Most popular camping sight is camping5. Followed by Camping4(cluster5), Camping8 (cluster6), Camping2 (Cluster4), Camping3 (Cluster7), Camping0(Cluster2), Camping7(Cluster1).


4. Most Vehicles use park roads to pass through.

6. The movement vis allows the operation of group clusters by different dimension. When we group the clusters by Vehicle-type, we get to see that vehicle Type 5 and 6 fall into the same big cluster.
Therefore, it can be concluded that majority of 2-Axle and 3-Axle buses just pass through and only use roads to go to south entrance or coming from south. So, they're falling into same big cluster.


7. 2p vehicles spend 2-3 hours a day and mostly spend time at ranger-stops.

2 Patterns of Life analyses may also depend on understanding what patterns appear over longer periods of time (in this case, over multiple days). Describe up to six patterns of life that occur over multiple days (including across the entire data set) by vehicles traveling through and within the park. Characterize the patterns by describing the kinds of vehicles participating, their spatial activities (where do they go?), their temporal activities (when does the pattern happen?), and provide a hypothesis of what the pattern represents (for example, many vehicles showing up at the same location each Saturday at the same time may suggest some activity occurring there each Saturday). Please limit your answer to six images and 500 words.

1. Car-id 20154519024544-322 (2-axle truck) visited park 16 times and repeatedly visited same camping and followed same route to go to camping4.

Provide your answer and corresponding images here.

3 Unusual patterns may be patterns of activity that changes from an established pattern, or are just difficult to explain from what you know of a situation. Describe up to six unusual patterns (either single day or multiple days) and highlight why you find them unusual. Please limit your answer to six images and 500 words.

1. 18 Ranger-ids out of 999 left ranger-base in the evening and visited almost all the ranger-stops and few camping sites in night and went back to ranger-stop in mid night. It is unusual as it happened on very few days and generally they spent considerably huge amount of time than normal ranger shift (3 hours). They spent 8-10 hours in the park and visited all the Ranger-stops in the midnight.


2. 2 Ranger-ids on 12th and 19th May, 2016 were showing exact spatio-temporal pattern.


3. 18 cars stayed for more than 19 days continuously inside the park. They are detected at only one camping for these many days. They must have been keeping their vehicle at a camping area and then roam around the park or they are those extended professional or hobbiest intended to study some bird species located on a particular camping area.


4. 6 of the "4-axle truck or above" were detected 2 times at entrance for 5 seconds only at various entrances and then appeared back after few hours from the same gate.

4 \96 What are the top 3 patterns you discovered that you suspect could be most impactful to bird life in the nature preserve? (Short text answer)

We have seen from clustering task is that biggest cluster contains vehicles of type 5-6 which are mainly pass through by the park. These vehicles spend very little time in park but cause lot of traffic. This could impact the bird life heavly. We further seen that this traffic is usually caused by buses of factory located in south.
