Patterns of Life

Pattern 1

• 6 am – 6 pm are the busiest hours for the preserve.6-8 am the count of cars inside the preserve increases sharply and from 6-8pm the number of cars decreases
• This plot also shows that Friday-Sunday are busier. This is probably due to weekend visitors or weekend campers

Pattern 2

• This shows that camp sites are busy even during week days not just weekends. We see a surge in timespent at camp site especially during weekends. This is in alignment with the overall increase in traffic during weekends
• 11PM – 4 AM, there is almost no movement at camp sites. The camping gates are probably closed during these hours. 7 AM – 5 PM there is increased activity around camp sites

Pattern 3

• The image above also give information on the distribution of vehicles at camp site.We notice that there are no 4 axle (and above) truck,2 axle bus and 3 axle buses in the camping site. May be these large vehicles are not allowed to camp.

Pattern 4

• Gates are sparsely used form 12 AM – 5 AM.We see a surge on Wednesdays .
• There is also an intrusion of gates by 4 axle(and above) truck. We will discuss this in Q3.

Pattern 5

• This diagram shows that 2P – Park Service Vehicles used by preserve rangers is not detected between 3-5 AM on all the days,2-5 AM on Thursdays, and 1-5 AM on Saturdays. These could be the Time off periods for all rangers.
• We can also see the path that was most frequent among 2P-Park service vehicles.

• The following are the commonly used pathways:

- Ranger-stop 0 --> General gate 2[7490] - General gate 2 --> Ranger -stop 0 [7311]

- Ranger-stop 2 --> General gate 1 [7427] - General gate 1 --> Ranger-stop 2 [7248]
