Main idea
- To study the coal supply and demand of the German Empire for the year 1881.
- Interactive visualization of Germany's main coal production and consumption centers.
- Dynamic visualization of coal transport flows according to the different mining basins and transport routes.
- Differentiating the production and consumption centers from the transport hubs.
- Creation of a website to present the results.
Further possible upgrades
- Compare the supply of the time with an optimized computerized supply.
- Further analyze coal consumption data by cities in relation to the main industries of the time.
- Observe the correlation of coal production and consumption at the time with the level of subsequent economic development of cities, in an attempt to quantify the economic impact of this strategic resource.
Main steps
- Print a full-sized map, in order to facilitate manual data extraction.
- Extract data to csv (production, consumption, flux).
- Extract cities' coordinates.
- Find background map of the German Empire in the end of the XIXth century
- Code the visual representation of production and consumption center.
- Code the visual representation of coal flux.
Map details
