Smart City Urban Mobility and Traffic Dynamics

Columns

• timestamp: The date and time of the recorded data point.
• congestion_level: A numeric value representing the density of traffic flow (0.10 to 0.90); higher values indicate heavier congestion.
• weather_conditions: Categorical variable indicating prevailing weather (e.g., 'Clear', 'Cloudy').
• road_type: Categorical variable describing the road classification ('Highway', 'City Street', 'Residential').
• vehicle_type: Categorical variable denoting the type of vehicle involved ('Car', 'Bus', 'Bicycle').
• temperature: Numeric value representing the temperature in degrees (ranging from 15 to 35) at the collection point.
• humidity: Numeric value indicating the humidity level (20 to 90), which influences road conditions.
• wind_speed: Numeric value reflecting wind speed (0 to 20), potentially impacting driving conditions.
• precipitation: Numeric value indicating the amount of precipitation (0 to 10), such as rain or snow.
• population_density: Numeric value representing the population density in the area (500 to 10,000).

Usage

• Urban Planning: Assess road efficiency and infrastructure needs based on traffic density and road types.
• Environmental Analysis: Study the impact of weather conditions (precipitation, wind, temperature) on traffic flow.
• Predictive Modelling: Develop models to forecast congestion levels based on time, weather, and population density.
• City Mechanics Research: Scrutinise the relationship between population density and mobility patterns.
