An interesting study would be to check the correlation between bad weather and traffic intensity.
What do the sensors messure:
- Direction of travel
- Density of traffic (per m2 in measuring area)
- Modality (cycling or walking)
- Countline
- Speed
Types of sensors: 2D videoanalysis: These are camera's (2d). Based on these camera's, count speed etc. is calculated.
The goal of the project is to do a data visualization and analysis project for my portfolio and as a hobby. To achieve this goal, I have set up the following questions that I want to answer with the data:
- What is the busiest time of day for the sensor? (Working days and weekend)
- How does the volume of bicycle traffic vary during different times of the day across key locations in Amsteradm?
- What are the effects of seasonal variations on bicycle traffic in Amsterdam?
- Which bicycle lanes require widening?
- Can seasonal variations be used to make predictions about the traffic intensity on a certain day?
- Making calls to an API
- Exploratory Data Analysis
- Nice looking Data Visualization using Python
- Using statistics to test the effects of weather on traffic
- Write a script to make calls to a REST API
- Download the required data from the API for the different questions
- Explore the data
- Visualize the data
