The project progressed to Predictive Analytics via Machine Learning using Python Script for monthly forecasting of parking insights and shown in dashboards.

We also implemented monthly forecasting using

  • Trend and forecasting functions to calculate regression line (or line of best fit) then applied to a time series to forecast future values.
  • Exponential smoothing function to apply decreasing weight to historical data in order to forecast future values based on emerging trends.

Strategic Benefits

The work related to visualization lead to enhanced predictive analytics via machine learning and enabled access to accurate data visualization results.
