Congestiómetro

Inter-American Development Bank

Congestiómetro is a tool developed by the IDB for the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, designed to optimize the planning and management of urban traffic. It uses data from the Waze application, allowing a broad and detailed view of vehicle flow without the need for specialized hardware, making it easier to adapt to other cities. This tool arises in response to the challenges of vehicle congestion in large cities, offering a practical solution to improve urban mobility. By taking advantage of real-time traffic data, the Congestiometer enables more efficient traffic management, contributing to the reduction of costs, travel times and polluting emissions, thus promoting a better quality of life and a sustainable approach to urban planning.

Traffic congestion is a common urban challenge. Congestiometer addresses this problem by providing a platform to monitor and analyze traffic data, enabling data-driven decisions and congestion mitigation.

Traffic Data Analysis: Congestiómetro enables users to analyze traffic data, identify congestion hotspots, and make informed decisions. Congestion Mitigation: The platform often includes features for addressing traffic congestion through data-driven interventions. Community Engagement: It encourages community participation in monitoring and addressing traffic congestion issues.

Built with Caddy, it functions as a web server and reverse proxy, enhancing efficiency and security. Utilizes PostgreSQL with PostGIS for spatial database management, ensuring data interoperability. Implements Hasura to facilitate GraphQL services, optimizing data access. Developed with NodeJS, TypeScript, and Express, it supports the administrative backend. Employs Angular and Angular Material for the front-end, ensuring a modern interface. Integrates Python, Flask, and TensorFlow for the model backend, enabling advanced analytics.
