Can public information be combined into a simple calendar that helps people decide when to travel in Bengaluru?
This proof of concept uses historical weekday/time traffic patterns together with public holidays, school-holiday effects, long-weekend behaviour, weather and published area rush-hour information. It does not use Google traffic data and it is not intended to replace navigation apps.
The experiment separates two questions:
- how busy the roads are likely to be at that time; and
- whether that particular date is likely to be lighter or heavier than a normal comparable day.
It is deliberately labelled as a POC because the estimates still need real-world calibration and may be incomplete or wrong.
