Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing how tile point counts are currently represented, then assess whether time of day, long-term trends, movement direction, and transportation mode can be supported without general metadata. Done would require a decided design and documented scope, which this issue does not provide.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There have already been requests for adding:

  • Time of day
  • Long term trends (with decay over time), with the ability to diff recent conditions against long-term
  • Dominant direction of movement
  • Mode of transportation

Is there any reasonable way to address these without adding the complexity of complete metadata generality?
