The map gives a sense of on which corridors the long distance traffic travels and how far the infrastructure interdependencies within the network road reach. Very helpful information when planning charging infrastructure. 1500 km is the straight distance from Madrid to Hamburg, Paris to Stockholm, or London to Warsaw. This map is based on synthetic data from [1], which is not perfect. Countries with missing data in Eastern Europe pop out by having no short-distance traffic at all in this dataset. I once drew an equivalent map based on real operating patterns (GPS data) when I was a data scientist at Scania. From that experiment, I know real operating patterns exhibit a lot more fine-grained variation than what this map shows. In particular, this synthetic dataset is missing a lot of very local traffic, as there are no pronounced peaks at all within and around cities. What conclusions do you draw from these transport patterns? Tip: To get the map in fullscreen, first click the image, then open that image in a new browser tab. More maps in the comments.
