Prototype Data Dashboard for Multi-Source Transportation and Community Health Data Analytics

Publication: International Conference on Transportation and Development 2024

ABSTRACT

This study had a primary objective of creating a versatile and scalable data dashboard prototype that highlights transportation and community health data, using El Paso as a case study. The dashboard serves as a centralized hub for various data sources within the city, facilitating visual analysis to uncover the intricate connections between these two crucial domains. It’s important to note that the primary aim was not to develop a final product for the city, but rather to establish a proof-of-concept, engage potential users, and conduct scenario analysis. The true impact of this study is expected to extend beyond the creation of the dashboard itself, as it has the potential to influence significant city-wide or regional policy changes based on the valuable insights derived from the comprehensive data analysis. This initiative aims to provide a robust tool for decision-makers and stakeholders to make informed choices that could ultimately benefit the community’s transportation and health outcomes.
