The focus is on visualizing the network of SBB CFF (trains, S-Bahn). This visualization was later animated and published by the NZZ: [[http://www.nzz.ch/aktuell/inland-sommerserie-schweizer-karten-interaktiv/sbb-fahrplan-pulsierender-verkehr-1.18129777|Die Eisenbahn, die nie ganz schläft]].

-===== The following parameters were of interest for us ===== 
-Time 
-  * Departure 
-  * Arrival 
-  * Speed: average speed and speed changes on a train’s track 
-Track 
-  * A train’s track on the map 
-  * Stops per track 
-Train capacity 
-  * Degree of capacity utilized (is the train crowded or not?) 
-  * Length of trains => number of passengers 
-Stations 
-  * Degree of tracks occupied (per hour, per day) 
-  * Stations as intersections (how important is a station for the network?) 
-Train types 
-  * Different types: IC, S-Bahn, Interregio etc. 
-  * Name of a specific train (IC123) 
-Delays 
-  * Per train 
-  * Per track 
-Waiting times of trains in a station

 ===== Data ===== ===== Data =====
-swisstrains (data is a bit difficult to access). The data consists of train-schedules and a mapping from single trains to tracks on a map. As the track-data has been traced from Google Imagery we don't consider this data Opendata. Getting the tracks from OpenStreetmap would be a nice project for another Hackday.+swisstrains.
