Road speeds around the airport, every hour
How the roads around the airport are moving, in a short note every hour.
What it does
Every hour: the airport and its car parks, with how the traffic is moving on the roads within 1 km of each (the speed against free flow, the jam factor and the busiest road), in a short note by xMap AI for the airport operations centre.
In one sentence: Every hour at :00, find international airports, airports and airport parking lots within 5 km of a point, measure the traffic around them, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Passengers stuck in traffic miss flights and blame the airport. A note each hour on the roads around the terminals tells the operations centre when to warn them.
