Pixel {150, 244} – Taxi Trip Origination by Time of Day This is an example cumulative distribution of taxi trip originations in the top pixel in Union County. Clearly, the majority of the activity in this pixel is due to work and school, as about 85% of the trips originated occur after noon. This corresponds to employees and students making their way home at the end of the day. Specifically, almost half of the trips in the pixel originate between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM, which is the approximate period of rush hour. Unfortunately, it was entirely infeasible for us to conduct this analysis for all 20 pixels in our report, as Excel’s filtering of data by pixel is unconscionably slow.
