VLC TrànsitAire
A user-friendly app that helps citizens visualize traffic patterns in Valencia and their impact on air quality.
- Date
- May 2023
I led a team of five to build VLC TrànsitAire, a Shiny app that joins Valencia's traffic and air-quality data with a clear public-health question: what risk does the air around me pose right now? Alongside historical maps and charts, the app includes live conditions, health-risk levels, and practical advice.
Approach
- Led a five-person team and coordinated the data, design, development, and report.
- Combined traffic intensity, atmospheric measurements, green areas, and public transport in map-based views.
- Built a live section that translates current pollution readings into health risks and recommendations.
Impact
- Received the second-place award in the 2023 Valencia Data Visualization competition.
- Turned several separate municipal datasets into one tool for understanding traffic pollution and acting on current conditions.
