Data Methodology & Sources
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 1–5 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 commuters ("Commuter Analysts"). We prioritize firsthand experience and verify all VEP/toll regulation updates against official announcements from JPJ (Malaysia) and LTA (Singapore) before publishing.
