APPLICATION

RESEARCH PAPER


PROJECT DESCRIPTION

As more Singaporeans are opting to take public transport for day to day trips, being able to understand the trip patterns of Singaporeans can help to identify interesting insights and these patterns can be used to help improve the environment of Singapore example: building more elderly friendly facilities, more buses services when school is over, etc.

Our project aims to provide an application that will help various government sectors like HDB, URA, SLA and LTA to enable better planning and decision making where it will eventually impact Singaporeans in the future.


PROJECT OBJECTIVE

To build an application that does flow analysis using the data generated by trips made. The team also hopes to include more analytics features to bring more use cases for this application.

Key Technical Challenges

Description

Proposed Solution

Outcome

1.

Not familiar with spatial analysis method and its related R packages

As the team is new to geospatial, there are certain concept that the team is not knowledgeable in.
In addition, the team is not well verse with R programming language.

Do more self-learning via online research or datacamp
Look through online resources like R documentation
Look through hands on exercise to help us gain more knowledge in both theory and R language

2.

Lack of data for analysis

As Singapore does not collect much data on human traffic flow, this might be a potential challenge for the team to conduct spatial analysis.

Look for relevant agencies or find different data sets to merge and conduct spatial analysis.
