Improving sensitivity of Traffico
Posted on Fri, 30 Mar 2018
Early this month, I lowered the thresholds* for the following roads after analysing their arrival charts:
- Clementi Ave 6 [both directions]
- Paya Lebar Road (Lifelong Learning Institute) [both directions]
- Thomson Road (Balestier Road Junction) [both directions]
- Loyang Ave - TPE Junction [Towards Changi]
- Eunos Link [both directions]
- Toh Guan Road (IMM) [both directions]
- Jalan Bukit Merah - Lower Delta Junction [Towards Queenstown]
- Stevens Road [both directions]
This makes Traffico a little more ‘sensitive’ to pick up traffic buildup but not too overly sensitive to report false prolonged congestion. It should not have a negative impact on the monthly statistics and ranking as well.
