Roadworks
I have added new content to site. The first thing to notice is that I have changed the icons. These have been altered as I plan to let the icons classify the type of event they are attached to. My initial attempts were a bit rubbish so I have left them blank on the traffic and transport pages.
There is a new page which is roadworks info as supplied from the QMISS xml feed here. I had a motorway VMS (Variable Message Sign) feed for the maps but I was looking at it over the weekend and there was some sort of fire on the M25, this caused every sign on the motorway to light up like a Christmas tree. Way way too much data for the browser which choked on it. I have some ideas about summarising the information.
Anyway, as it is the roadworks data is filtered on the following rules
- all severe events are passed
- only moderate events which have started are allowed
- only slight events which start on the current day are allowed.
This was the only way to keep the number of events down to a manageable size.
My isp in their infinite wisdom have decided to shut the current cgi server down and move every customer to a new one. I would like to say there will be no disruption but setting the redirection for the URL is bound to take some time to go through. I will try to do this overnight at some point during the week.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
