The CDU will shortly be hosting a new interface to some great work by the GeoData Institute at the University of Southampton.
Population 24/7 allows you to look at populations during different times throughout the day and year. So, you could see how school time or University term time affects the distribution of a given population.
The interface was built by Homme Zwaagstra on outputs created by the work of Professor David Martin, Samantha Cockings and Samuel Leung.
More details on the project can be found at http://www.southampton.ac.uk/geography/research/projects/space_time.page
At the moment we are turning the interface into a service based at the CDU by adding authentication, usage logging and automated monitoring software.

Population 25/7 is built using a Node.js webserver that utilises Python, Zip and GDAL to create GIS output files of the data as GeoTIFF, XYZ Ascii or Arcinfo Ascii Grid format.
