Strategy

Characterise junctions with meaningful metrics and data such that better junctions can be advised/predicted.

The job Performance Components
Move a number of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians in 12 directions Effectiveness and quality of job execution: fast and safe Lanes (all types), traffic lights (regulation), speed limit,

Scrape Data

Traffic Data

  • From all export traffic light data the number of cars per direction
  • For each junction what the directions mean

Travel time measures

  • From each file split the 'directions'

Other

  • Distances between points

notes:

Example dashboard. With significant data the statistical averages for junctions will be it's signutare. Junctions with higher average velocities of traffic flowing through have a more effective signutare.

Next

Increase (data) quality

  • Analyse more traffic junctions
  • Delve into more accurate raw data
  • Use similar data from other councils
  • Generate more and better data
  • Include other data: cycle, pedestrian (WIFI)

-> A larger data set with more parameters would make it very appealing to use machine learning (NN, RandomForest).

Generate data

Design an APP that people do not have to use actively, but it simply transmits geo-data to Zwolle when on the move. Ask residents leave the APP running in the background while they are driving. (Baltimore example)

Or, possibly even easier:

Order thousands of little bluetooth modules on Alibaba and hand out these unregistered devices for Zwolle's citizens to keep in their car. Any cooperating company can get company registered devices that allows Zwolle to map a significant amount of its commuters traffic.
