Last month I blogged about our concept bGeigie, which is essentially a pair of geiger counters rigged to a car and connected to a GPS device and laptop to log the points as we drive around the country side. We’ve now completed several of these drives and have mapped out the data so it makes a little more sense. Each map can be clicked to go to a specific page with a zoomable versions. This is a test drive around Tokyo:
This is the trip to Koriyama that I mentioned in the earlier post:
This is Iwaki:
Here is a follow up trip to Koriyama and Hirono:
Here is Sukagawa City:
And finally, we gave a bGeigie set up to a team at Keio University and this is the collected readings for 3 of their driving around:

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
This is a very cool contribution. Official sources did do some driving monitoring, but I feel like this information is so much more accessible as opposed to endless pdf files with little poor consistency.
I do wish you could get rid of the black border of the circles. It’s not a problem on close zooms, but when zooming out the color map is entirely obscured. That is a major reason that it’s difficult to put these into the picture of what the radiation field from the accident is.
