Time to put those dashboarding skills to good use!
With Dundas BI 6 came new data visualizations, one of which was the Radar Chart. And when we unveiled our Snow and Collision Analysis Radar Chart we received a lot of great feedback… turns out, a lot of you thought you could do a better job than us!
So we’re putting that to the test! It’s your turn to shine. I want you to take the data we used to make our Radar Chart, and see if you can:
- Create something that looks even better
- Come up with different conclusions
–
Here’s the Radar Chart we created - think you can do better?
What we’ve done, is created a snow and collision analysis for Toronto (using real data), using a Radar Chart. We wanted to see if there were any correlations between the number of collisions and the time of year (which would impact the weather and the volume of snow on the ground).
While no trends were readily apparent, it was clear there were actually less accidents during the winter months when snow was on the ground. It’s possible this is due to there being fewer vehicles on the road, but more data would be required to validate this assumption.

Now, being the data visualization guru’s you are, I’m sure you can do much better than us! So it’s your turn to shine! I want you to take the data we used, and see if you can come up with different conclusions!

You can download the data we used, here:

NOTE - You’re encouraged to add/include/find other data sets in addition to what we used to bolster your visualization.

Here’s what’s on the line:
-
I’ll award 300 points for every data visualization I receive (take a screen shot and post it below), as long as it’s different than mine
-
It would be great if you included a couple of sentences, highlighting the conclusions you were able to come to as well
-
Our favorite visualization(s) will be featured in our upcoming Innovation Never Rests: Radar Charts blog ( full credit to you! )
–
So let’s see those visualizations!
