Data and Resource

Crime data

Crime data is from City of Chicago Data Portal What I did includes:

• downloaded crime data
• deleted columns that are not to be used
• selected major crimes based on this document and the number of each crime (see below)
• converted datetime to weekday, month, hour, minute
• counted the number of crimes in each community area per weekday/hour/month

Based on number of crime, I did

1. Theft: only 'Over $500' are kept
2. Burglary: only 'Forcible Entry' are kept
3. Criminal Damage: only 'Vandalism' and 'To City of Chicago Property' are kept
4. Assault and Sexual Assault: only 'Aggravated' ones are kept

• using an API call to request train locations and headings of all 'L' lines
• converting locations and headings to positions and orientations in 3D world
• drawing and updating every 40 seconds

Geo data

• downloaded KML files for CTA Lines and CTA Stops
