如何将一条无人街道在谷歌地图上显示为拥堵路段？

" 99 second hand smartphones are transported in a handcart to generate virtual traffic jam in Google Maps.Through this activity, it is possible to turn a green street red which has an impact in the physical world by navigating cars on another route to avoid being stuck in traffic. "

用手推车载着99部二手智能手机，在谷歌地图上会产生虚拟的交通堵塞。通过这个活动，我们有时会将无人的街道识别成交通繁忙，谷歌地图进而会建议车辆提前更换路线。”

The advent of Google’s Geo Tools began in 2005 with Maps and Earth, followed by Street View in 2007. They have since become enormously more technologically advanced. Google’s virtual maps have little in common with classical analogue maps. The most significant difference is that Google’s maps are interactive – scrollable, searchable and zoomable. Google’s map service has fundamentally changed our understanding of what a map is, how we interact with maps, their technological limitations, and how they look aesthetically.

谷歌地理工具的出现始于2005年的Maps and Earth，之后是2007年的街景。此后，它们在技术上变得更加先进。谷歌的虚拟地图与经典的模拟地图几乎没有什么共同之处。最显著的区别是谷歌的地图是交互式的——可滚动、可搜索和可缩放。谷歌的地图服务从根本上改变了我们对地图的理解，改变了我们与地图的互动方式，改变了地图的技术局限性，改变了地图的外观。

In this fashion, Google Maps makes virtual changes to the real city. Applications such as ›Airbnb‹ and ›Carsharing‹ have an immense impact on cities: on their housing market and mobility culture, for instance. There is also a major impact on how we find a romantic partner, thanks to dating platforms such as ›Tinder‹, and on our self-quantifying behaviour, thanks to the ›nike‹ jogging app. Or map-based food delivery-app like ›deliveroo‹ or ›foodora‹. All of these apps function via interfaces with Google Maps and create new forms of digital capitalism and commodification. Without these maps, car sharing systems, new taxi apps, bike rental systems and online transport agency services such as ›Uber‹ would be unthinkable. An additional mapping market is provided by self-driving cars; again, Google has already established a position for itself.

Google Maps以这种方式为真实城市建立虚拟备份。Airbnb和Carsharing等应用程序对住房市场和流动性文化产生了巨大影响;Tinder等约会平台，对寻找浪漫伴侣的有非常重大参考意义;nike慢跑应用程序对自我量化行为的影响，乃至或基于地图的食品配送应用，如deliveroo或foodora。所有这些应用都要通过与Google Maps的接口来运行，并创建了新形式的数字资本主义和商品化。没有这些地图、汽车共享系统、出租车应用、自行车租赁系统以及诸如Uber之类的在线运输代理服务，现代生活将变得不可想象。自动驾驶提供了另一个额外的地图应用市场。谷歌已经在世界商业格局中再次奠定了自己的地位。

With its Geo Tools, Google has created a platform that allows users and businesses to interact with maps in a novel way. This means that questions relating to power in the discourse of cartography have to be reformulated.

凭借其地理工具，谷歌创建了一个平台，允许用户和企业以一种新颖的方式与地图交互。这意味着与制图学话语中的权力有关的问题必须重新表述。
