Summary[edit]

Description

experimental cartography using Openstreetmap data.

Influenced by the concept of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fl%c3%a2neur" rel="nofollow">Flaneur</a>, someone who wanders a city (in this case, Bergen in Norway) at random, deciding on their next move using chance, or without a specific destination in mind.

A connected network is created from OpenStreetMap data, and hundreds of thousands of random journeys are made through the network by software agents following very simple rules:-

- move to a neighbouring node - don't backtrack - stop at a dead-end - stop if you've visited a node for a second time - repeat

The number of times each route is covered is shown using colour; red are the roads most travelled, blue the least travelled.

Originally I thought this might show up major arteries, but it doesn't seem to work that way...
