VIRGINIA TRAVEL TRENDS DURING MA JOR HOLIDAY PERIODS
The project presents the historic congestion trends on the Virginia interstate system and important arterials during major holiday periods. It has two parts: (1) computation
of congestion trends and (2) visualization. The congestion trends are visualized online by color-coding with the usual green-yellow-red color scheme using Google Maps.
Congestion trends are calculated using private-provider vehicle probe-based speed data. To account for changes in traffic due to non-recurring events (incidents, weather,
work zones, etc.), and missing or inaccurate data readings, data from a rolling window of three years is used.
