This video demonstrates how congestion develops over time by utilizing a "heat plot" which becomes hotter as more vehicles accumulate in a given area and cooler as they dissipate. Also showcased is the ability of TransVis to import satellite images making it feel in interactive mode much like Google maps with satellite.
