Title:

The Living Bridge Project: Database and Data Visualization Study

The objective of The Living Bridge Project: Database and Data Visualization Study is to have a running MySQL database that can be deployed and integrated into the current Living Bridge website. We are using D3.js which is a dynamic, interactive JavaScript Library that will be able to visually display information, statistics and charts/graphs from the data given relating to the Memorial Bridge located in Portsmouth, NH. This is not limited as a tool for just public information. This bridge itself can be used as a form of laboratory to researchers, engineers, and students. Since this bridge has multiple sensors, it can capture everything from strain on the bridge to traffic patterns, water levels, weather, etc. These can be used upon completion of the database, visualization and its website integration, to benefit multiple parts of society. Some of the benefits this database and the accompanying visualizations could provide are the ability to show how varying weather conditions and carrying capacity in certain months affect the bridge’s infrastructure. As well how much energy could be captured from tidal power regarding alternating sea levels. Using D3.js we plan to have visualizations for these to make it more user friendly to understand and utilize the information.
