Radar (Geospatial Intelligence)
The Radar platform, accessible globally at radar.alaskaintel.com, acts as the primary visual and geospatial tracker for live dynamic events in Alaska.
Technical Stack
Section titled “Technical Stack”- Framework: React 19 / Vite
- Mapping Engine: MapLibre GL JS
- Local Port:

Capabilities
Section titled “Capabilities”Unlike the main dashboard array which presents data in list and ticker formats, Radar is strictly a geospatial visualizer.
It renders a highly optimized vector tile map capable of plotting:
- Complex live DOT road construction corridors and hazards.
- Hundreds of streaming 511 traffic cameras.
- Accurate pinpoint plotting of 911 EMS incidents and state trooper reports.
- Accurate seismic activity circumferences.
The 511 Traffic Integration
Section titled “The 511 Traffic Integration”The use511Data.ts hook actively polls our localized Cloudflare Workers proxy endpoints rather than hitting DOT servers natively. This completely sidesteps rate-limiting constraints typically imposed by government infrastructure. The pipeline dynamically categorizes construction, road statuses, and live traffic cameras into the standard generic “Signal” scheme natively, and groups them dynamically into geographical polygons on the Radar screen.
