Problem: Acquiring EV owners info Paper surveys ○ a hassle ○ errors during transcription ○ geocoding errors due to transcription errors ○ difficult for survey takers to visualize driving trip diaries based upon street addresses
Solution: Web Maps ● everyone loves maps! ● helps users visualize their driving habits ● provides instant feedback ● visualizes accurate range issues ● eliminates most geocoding errors ● increases the accuracy of the dataset
MongoDB ● noSql ● schemaless Pros ○ good performance ○ significantly less time to develop ○ javascript/json based ○ simple Cons ○ not as featureful as mysql (pro?)
