Can You Find a Better Way to Manage Traffic?
Traffic congestion is an issue faced by urban centers. The complexity of managing traffic increases yearly for several reasons, generating higher fuel consumption and increased emissions. The complexity is even higher in New York City (NY), with its exceptionally complex road network. Efficiently managing traffic flows in such a bustling environment is crucial. This challenge allows you to try to relieve traffic congestion in NY. You'll analyze historical traffic and weather data. The end goal is to identify factors contributing to congestion and develop a predictive model that forecasts traffic volumes based on these factors.
