Design with Data

Using Instagram as an example to image the potential public engagement. 

With the encouragement of posting Instagram photos and comments from Pittsburgh local municipalities, citizens could post their views of autonomous vehicles with special "#", such as PittsburghSelfDriving included in the posts, so it could help data analyst to collect the data and analysis. 

In this circumstance, we could encourage citizens structure their posts around the location or service use of autonomous vehicles, how citizens were using them, and how they perceive these could influence their life, or even their living environment, or what are their concerns or how these autonomous vehicle should be regulated.

With the data collected from Instagram, we could use Gephi to visualize the activity correlation to the posts, which would be able to indicate the activity diversity regarding the use of autonomous vehicles or other autonomous vehicle related activities. In this manner, we could have a sense the location concentrate where we should pay more attention on public infrastructure improvement, for example, a high percentage of people post their related experience in grocery shopping, or other commercial district, which might indicates an improvement of sidewalk space improve of public right-of-way's drop off space.
