The Shri Ram SchoolGrade 11

TrafficPop analyzes urban traffic patterns and provides actionable insights for city planners and commuters. Using real-time data visualization, it helps optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion. The platform demonstrates how data analytics can solve real-world urban challenges.

The Problem

Urban congestion costs cities billions annually in lost productivity, fuel waste, and environmental damage. City planners lack accessible tools to visualize traffic patterns and make data-driven infrastructure decisions. Commuters have limited information to optimize their routes.

The Solution

A comprehensive traffic analytics platform that transforms raw traffic data into actionable insights. TrafficPop provides real-time visualizations, predictive modeling, and optimization recommendations for both city planners and individual commuters.
