Re: [datameet] Request for Road Traffic Density data 2019-2020

2020-06-27 Thread Abhishek 
Hey Divyansh,

I might be able give you historical data for public buses in Delhi and
Bangalore using which you can estimate the density.

We (Smart Cities Mission) are trying hard to open such datasets to the
community but it will take some time.

Just send me a brief about your project and the data license you would need
for the same.

Cheers,

Hi Divyansh,

Some steering questions seeing that this is a research thing:

- What are the methods in which such data can be recorded and collected?

- What are legalities surrounding each of these methods?

- What kinds of entities have capability to collect such data?

- Are there any entities under above list that are known to be doing this
collection?

- Are there any entities from above list that might be able to share this
collected data with you?

- If none of above are directly openly sharing, what do you need to do to
get them to share it with you?

- If above questions could not be answered satisfactorily, then a more
basic question: Does the data exist at all in the way it's originally
required and under terms that you can obtain it?

- If not, then would it be worth to pivot from locating source of needed
data to creating / collating / collecting needed data?

- What would one need to do it? Technology, resources, time, know-how?

- Are there others looking for the same / similar things as you are, and
are there opportunities to form alliances for a common goal?

- If so, then what is it that you can bring to the table?

- Is it better to initiate such an effort, or join into one that is already
ongoing?

Myself I've got no clue, but this might help you take steps towards your
goal. Oftentimes I've observed that the thing needed comes into existence
only after questions for it are asked and then gears are switched from
expecting a result to participating in forming it. All the best!
