IT 226 4-1 Activity: Blog Post for Revision

SnarlReporter

Y’all need SnarlReporter! SnarlReporter will be an AI driven web application that will monitor all public traffic cameras in the USA and create a color-coded real time visual representation of the traffic problems present in any country. This is a very, very beneficial web application for customers who have a need to see how traffic problems appear.

The goal of the developers is to provide a toll that can be used by city planners and state and federal governments. When creating public transportation project plan for rail and high speed train or roadway modifications that would improve traffic flow and easy commute times. Expensive traffic studies need to be performed. These are costly and consume a significant amount of time, thereby delaying the project start and inflating the cost. Since the system is driven by publicly available data, access to the system can be provided at reasonably low costs.

Consumer level access will be provided free of charge as the data will not be downloadable as it would be for paying customers. A paying customer would get his detailed report containing daily, weekly and monthly time of day-based traffic profiles. Paying customers can create many different reports within the application! The manual that comes with the application shows customers how to toggle different options, show or hide information, change font colors, reorganize the order in which information is displayed on the report, categorizes the information on the report, and allows the customer to insert custom fields, and import spreadsheets into the application to combine that information with the information in the application.

In future iterations the system will use accident data as well, to try to ‘explain’ some of the anomalous traffic jams, although the use of data smoothing techniques may eliminate the need for this This can only be determined after a functional prototype has been built and a significant sample of data collected. Optimum Wave Development is committed to creating innovative and useful applications for our customers. Customer feedback drives how we change our applications for the future—we push to create applications that help you perform the tasks you need to every day.
