Travel Mapping

As part of a personal project, I tracked all of my activity on bicycle and mouse movements for a year. Through the use of easily accessible software I tracked and mapped the physical and digital movements. After some time and analysis I came to the conclusion that by nature we are creatures of habit.

The mouse maps below made it clear that I heavily use the "hot corners" on mac osx and a variety of tools in certain programs. While on my cycling travels I prioritize safety and efficiency.

The maps of my bike travels display a years worth of cycling in downtown Savannah. When I positioned the various maps over one another I began to notice a trend or habit in how I traveled through the city. My commuting preferences seem to have focused around safety and efficiency as I rode primarily on the roads less traveled by cars, or those equipped with proper bike lanes.
