Our final day saw us build dashboards based on USA interstate traffic

Our prep involved joining the station and volume data together in Tableau Prep. I did end of forming the spatial points in Alteryx as Tableau was acting up
Here are my Prep and Alteryx flows

The prep involved a few cleans and a pivot plus creating spatial points. Annoyingly the latitude and longitude needed some calculations as they were formatted incorrectly.
Here was my initial plan:

The plan had a map showing traffic trends at each hour of the day, some BANs and a bar chart ranking stations by state.
Here was my final Dashboard:

I tried a dark theme this week which I think sort of works. Some tweaks with the colours would help a bit but overall pleased with my first attempt at a dark theme.
The final dashboard followed my plan closely and I also included a line chart to compare stations to the US average.
