This section contains various charts that I made throughout my time in graduate school. All of these charts were made with Word and Excel.
A simple line chart. This chart shows the population in Shenzhen, China and how it has changed between 1978 and 2020.
A double line chart with plot points shown. This chart showed the company valuation of the main transportation network companies operating within the United States. The colors were selected to match with the companies' branding.
A double line chart with two 'y' axes and a line break. This chart compares the number of paratransit/demand response trips to the number of transit trips overall within the United States. There is a split in the graph because the definition of demand response changed in 2006, and I chose to split it so that it wouldn't appear that there was a massive increase in demand response trips from 2005 to 2006. For the sake of keeping the chart a reasonable size within the paper it was made for, the 'y' axes do not start at zero. Admittedly this could be considered a misleading graph because of that.
A line chart with separate 'y' axes, and two datasets for each axis. This chart compares the federal gas tax rate to the revenue generated by it. Rates and revenue are shown with and without inflation adjustment.
A simple single-bar chart. This chart shows the number of electric buses within the Chinese city of Shenzhen over a six-year timespan. (By 2017, Shenzhen's entire bus fleet had been changed to electric.)
A stacked bar chart. This chart shows the percentage of mode choice by mode type for four different decades. I have also created similar (but simpler) charts to show the racial breakdown within a specific geography.
A simple area chart. This chart shows the total number of new unemployment claims in North Carolina, and differentiates between unemployment that was - or was not - a result of the coronavirus epidemic,
A 'donut' chart. This shows the percentage of traffic accidents by type within a stretch of US 15-501 between Chapel Hill and Durham. This chart shows the combined data from 2012-2017.
