MerlinRoads is an interactive accident visualization dashboard developed in collaboration with the University of Twente and CentroGeo. It leverages Python, the Dash framework, and the Dash Sylvere library to visualize and analyze car accident data within urban road networks. The dashboard is designed to support city officials and urban planners by highlighting high-risk areas and enabling data-driven traffic safety decisions. Additionally, it features a simulation tool that allows users to assess the effects of traffic changes or road closures on potential congestions across the network.
The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
