# Data Mining Google U.S. Circulatory System of Highways By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-11-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/data-mining-google-us-circulatory-system-of-highways References: [benfry](http://benfry.com/allstreets/map4.html) Some geeks just love playing around with [data available on the web](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlasco-1). I, for one, am glad they do, otherwise how would we ever have this [map](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/route-66-centennial) to help President Obama decide where to put new roads to bring the U.S. economy back to its feet? It’s obvious that the eastern half of the U.S. is OK. So I would say that Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and those other western states need more roads. Alaska and Hawaii are omitted because we all know they don’t count because they aren’t connected to the real United States. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Data-driven Transportation Planning:** Analyzing data on traffic patterns and road infrastructure can help inform transportation planning decisions in the United States. - **Geospatial Data Analysis:** Mapping and analyzing geospatial data can provide valuable insights for government and business leaders in various industries, including transportation and logistics. - **Predictive Analytics for Transportation:** Leveraging predictive analytics algorithms can help anticipate traffic trends and inform infrastructure development in the transportation industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation and Logistics:** Data mining and geospatial analysis can provide valuable insights for transportation planning and logistics management in this industry. - **Government and Public Administration:** Using data to inform infrastructure development decisions can help government leaders in their mission to serve the public and improve quality of life. - **Technology and Software Development:** Building software tools and algorithms for analyzing geospatial data can create disruptive innovation opportunities for tech companies in this industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Risk Roadway Identification Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highrisk-roadway.md) - [Park-Navigating Map Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/map-update.md) - [Zip Code Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zipcode-heat-map.md) - [US National Park Navigations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-maps-2.md) - [Pathfinding Algorithm Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/map-pathfinding-visualizer.md) - [Global Data Extraction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrapio.md) - [Autonomous Car-Focused Mapping Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mapping-platform.md) - [Spatial Data Analysis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mapgo.md) - [Game Style Navigation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/need-for-speed-mini-map.md)
