Traffic forecasting
Traffic forecasting is the process of predicting future traffic flow and congestion on roads using data and analytical techniques. It considers factors like time of day, day of the week, weather, events, and historical traffic patterns to estimate how busy roads will be. This helps transportation planners, commuters, and authorities make informed decisions, such as managing traffic, planning infrastructure improvements, and optimizing travel times. Essentially, it aims to anticipate traffic conditions in advance to improve safety, efficiency, and travel experiences.
