An essential feature of Odourmap is the configurable timeline, which allows past, current and likely future situations to be displayed. This means that:
- users can ‘time-travel’ and see situations develop; situations can also be displayed in the past (and in the future, where there are likely impacts)
- animated sequences can help the user to see and analyse the progression of an incident, and the way it interacts with meteorological conditions and emission incidents
- statistical views can be provided (where the recorded citizen feedback and the information about emission sources, weather data and data from grid inspections can be processed statistically
and reported in a standardised way).
