Abstract
With a growing number of vehicles on the roads, traffic problems remain ever present. These problems become especially severe during winter. In this paper, we discuss the first steps for creating a system to manage snow removal in the city of Sapporo. Several questions are raised about the required functionality of such a system and the inherent challenges. We explain how, by designing an explorative framework with the use of the Webble World and a set of custom-made mapping Webbles, we plan to meet these challenges. We discuss how social media can serve as an additional source of information about the city. A way of analyzing the data through dynamic queries is introduced. Finally, to demonstrate the use of our framework, we construct a digital dashboard for data visualization and analysis.
