Mini-Challenge 1 : Traffic Patterns of Life through the Preserve

Picture 1 : Waterfall


We are required to analyze traffic data entering and exiting the Boonsong Lekagul Nature Preserve. Traffic enters and exits the Preserve through official Entrances. There are several Campgrounds where both day-camping and overnight camping are allowed. There are certain roadways restricted to the Preserve Rangers only. The Preserve Rangers are monitoring traffic through the preserve. Each vehicle travelling within the Preserve carries an RFID tag which produces a log each time the vehicle passes near sensors located at specific segments or gates located at various points of the Preserve.



There are five types of Gates :

Gate Type Description
Entrances All vehicles pass through an Entrance when entering or leaving the Preserve.
General-gates All vehicles may pass through these gates. These sensors provide valuable information for the Preserve Rangers trying to understand the flow of traffic through the Preserve.
Gates These are gates that prevent general traffic from passing. Preserve Ranger vehicles have tags that allow them to pass through these gates to inspect or perform work on the roadway beyond.
Ranger-stops These sensors represent working areas for the Rangers, so you will often see a Ranger-stop sensor at the end of a road managed by a Gate. Some Ranger-stops are in other locations however, so these sensors record all traffic passing by.
Camping These sensors record visitors to the Preserve camping areas. Visitors pass by these entering and exiting a campground.
