A data-driven system has been developed to understand and predict traffic patterns in Bangalore, providing alternative route recommendations for commuters.
Using a publicly available dataset from Kaggle with 17,000 rows called Bangalore’s Traffic Pulse, a reliability index was calculated to measure road stability and volatility.
The roads were categorized based on metrics related to speed deviation and congestion deviation, leading to the calculation of a Route Risk Score that balances traffic pain and unpredictability.
Personalized route recommendations are provided to users based on their preferences, such as prioritizing predictability over traffic pain, enhancing the commuting experience in Bangalore.
