Comprehensive dashboard for data overview and analysis

Design empowers users to gain a comprehensive overview of traffic data, including flow patterns and violation statistics. This bird's-eye view allows authorities to understand current traffic conditions, identify trends, and assess the effectiveness of implemented strategies.

Furthermore, objective-based data segregation facilitates faster access to relevant information. Users can now customize the interface and visualization charts to suit their unique needs, enabling them to test and adapt strategies for changing circumstances in traffic management.

Comparison charts to analyse trends and strategies

Designed a detailed comparison chart to assist users in analyzing trends related to traffic violations, traffic flow, blacklisted vehicles, as well as to compare the impact of previously implemented strategies. This serves as a powerful tool for authorities to gain valuable insights about traffic dynamics and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
