Roadrunner Proposal
While ITS aims to provide a safer experience for motorists, there is currently no known system in place to analyze the occurrence of traffic accidents. Traffic accidents are inevitable in any country and Singapore is no exception. They pose a huge problem to the safety of road users as they often result in fatalities and injuries. Therefore, our group aims to analyse the patterns of traffic accidents in Singapore and provide recommendations to reduce the occurence of traffic accidents in Singapore.
- Detect patterns of traffic incidents in Singapore and identify potential accident hotspots
- Analyse potential causes of traffic incidents in Singapore
- Analyse traffic-related issues such as heavy congestions or roadworks
- Evaluate the effectiveness of accident prevention measures implemented by LTA
- Possible recommendations to LTA to further reduce traffic incidents

1. Obtaining historical data of traffic incidents
There is currently no known data source that provides details on historical traffic incidents in Singapore. This poses a major challenge to us as there is no data to work with. The only data available online is a real-time API of traffic incidents. Hence, our team wrote a script to perform autonomous calling of the API at an interval of every one hour.
