Data Methodology & Sources

How CausewayTraffic.sg calculates traffic estimates.

Updated 2025-12-03

1. Public Camera Feeds

Our "Live Traffic Grid" aggregates publicly available CCTV snapshots from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and OneMotoring. These images are refreshed every 1โ€“5 minutes depending on source availability. We do not own or operate these cameras.

2. Estimation Logic

Our traffic estimates (Green/Yellow/Red) are derived from a hybrid model:

  • Visual Density: Analysis of vehicle queue lengths visible in camera frames (e.g., if queue extends past a specific lamp post).
  • Historical Trending: Comparison against average travel times for the specific day of week and hour (e.g., Saturday 10 AM historical average).
  • Third-Party Validation: Cross-referenced with Google Maps API travel time data for verification.

3. Editorial Standards

Our written guides are authored by experienced analysts. We prioritize firsthand experience and verify all VEP/toll regulation updates against official announcements from JPJ (Malaysia) and LTA (Singapore) before publishing.
