Inspiration
Chance to work on a real time dataset
What it does
It fetches the real time data of NJ transit busses by making an api call every 30 seconds
How we built it
We looked at the documentation from nj transit and with some help from the mentors, we were able to have access to the datasets. We were able to gain access to the api and the call syntax.
Challenges we ran into
One of the main challenges was figuring out how to parse all the data such that we can store it in an efficient way. Also, we could not figure out how to combine expected scheduled dataset with multiple inner joins to compare it to the main dataset.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
we were able to fetch scheduled times of the busses.
What we learned
We learned python and working with real time dataset
What's next for NJ Transit Real Time Data Exploration
I would like to finish this project. Hopefully, I get to talk the the professor during next week to further my range of opportunities.
