Stamen design produce travel time maps, self-reported crime maps, property development mapping and numerous other innovative ideas and brilliant visualisations. I particulary like the cabspotting project where an arterial network of human movement through san francisco is mapped through time and split by cab speed to produce striking images.
For research, starting with an analysis of existing gps and fare pickup data generated by inbuilt taxi technology and subsequently integrating a non-invasive heart and galvanic skin monitoring system (e.g. through a specially designed cover wrapped around the steering wheel) would produce an account of both taxi driver well-being based on traffic impedance, time of day, length of shift, and influence of the passenger based on area/time of pickup, and this study would also produce an account of the movement of people throughout the city at different time points.
