Switzerland at night
Each dot is a piece of the country. The light comes from the position of the sun, calculated for today: blue by day, orange as the sunset threshold passes, dark at night. The bright dots that stay lit are the certified sleep centres.
Today the sun sets at 18:52 at the western tip of the country and at 18:33 at the eastern tip: the threshold crosses Switzerland in 19 minutes.

What it shows, and what it doesn't
This map shows no crashes and no risks. It shows something simple: when, today, the light leaves each part of the country, and where the certified sleep centres are if daytime sleepiness keeps coming back.

What the pilot study still lacks
Pilot study: not the site. It may change.
Hourly counts on the national roads, if the data licence allows it: where people drive after dark.
Places to stop, on the same map as the threshold.
A route on the map and the time it meets the threshold. Calculated on your phone, without sending any data.
