MIT has released a lay out of maps showing areas of perceived security inwards New York, Boston, Chicago as well as Detroit. Using Street View images of the cities StreetScore assesses the perceived security of locations throughout the city. Green dots on the map stand upward for the areas which StreetScore has assigned equally having a high perceived security rating as well as the reddish dots are the locations amongst a depression perceived rating score.
One matter missing from the MIT StreetScore maps is the mightiness to filter the results shown on the map yesteryear score. However MIT has made the information available for download as well as then I decided to brand my ain map of New York as well as add together around filters.
In this Safe New York map I've taken the information for Manhattan, New York. The map shows the safest as well as to the lowest degree rubber locations equally perceived yesteryear the MIT Street View algorithm. The MIT q-score assigns a value upward to 43 for each Street View image. The higher the q-score assigned the higher the security perception. The lower the q-score the lower the security perception.
I've marked every place which has a score nether xv amongst a reddish marking as well as every place amongst a score over xxx amongst a greenish marker. All locations amongst a score betwixt xv as well as xxx are displayed amongst a xanthous marker.
You tin filter the markers shown on the map yesteryear using the 4 buttons inwards the map sidebar.
I retrieve at that spot is around value inwards beingness able to inquiry the information inwards this way. Switching betwixt the highest rated as well as lower rated locations on the map (green & reddish buttons) is quite effective inwards identifying areas where at that spot are clusters of locations perceived equally dangerous as well as amongst few rubber areas.
For event Hunts Point as well as Wards Island tin move clearly identified equally areas that are perceived dangerous yesteryear the MIT algorithm. It likewise becomes clear yesteryear but looking at the lowest (red) scores that major roads are oft perceived equally unsafe.
Using the Google Maps API likewise agency that you lot tin role Google Maps Street View. You tin drag as well as driblet pegman onto the map to depository fiscal establishment lucifer out the Street View images for whatever location. Therefore if you lot are wondering close why a item expanse has been given depression scores you lot tin depository fiscal establishment lucifer out the Street View imagery for yourself as well as brand your ain judgement.
