Abstract

With the increasing popularity of Google Maps, the integration of web services with Google Maps has recently attracted considerable attention. Using Google Maps JavaScript API v3, developers can build highly customizable maps with their own content and imagery. In this paper, UAtilize -- an Interactive Visualization & Analysis of Campus Building Utilization application using Google Maps and Google Fusion Tables is presented. UAtilize provides multiple functions and dynamic visualizations of campus building utilization data and Zipcard transaction data, leveraging the comprehensiveness, accuracy, and usability of Google Maps. UAtilize is capable to integrate and transform geographical data into a map. The primary goal of UAtilize is to assist several departments at The University of Akron, including Registrar Office, Parking and Transportation Services, Police Department, and Auxiliary Business Operations. With UAtilize, users can directly and interactively analyze the data using Google Charts and Google Visualization, instead of querying relational databases.
