Data collection for IS Lab 2
Here is where you can enter data for walks that you have
taken around town. Can be any distance, as long as it is
(more or less) accurately timed and recorded. Node IDs
come from OpenStreetMap, use the map query function (the
"?" button on the right side of the map window) to find
the ID for the start and end of your walk and any necessary
intermediate points. You may find it easier to start and
end your timing at intersections rather than nodes along
a block.
For best results (presumably), we would like data for a wide
cross-section of walks. Thus, for each walk you record, you
will get 1 walk point if that walk (start/via/end) has been recorded
three times or fewer, and 1/4 walk point otherwise. You will
need to obtain 10 walk points for full credit on Lab 2, and
will be able to obtain some bonus points if you exceed that
number.
New details (April 2):
Two of your submitted walks should
cover at least 0.5 km or 10 minutes each. For bonus points on lab 2,
each additional unique walk of greater than 0.5 km or 10 min will be
worth 1 point, and each shorter walk of at least 1 minute or 0.2 km
worth 1/4 point, up to a maximum of 5 points total. Get out there and have
a pleasant Easter weekend! Final walk tallies will be computed on
Monday, April 13.
