Smart Commuting
summary
A small startup builds a digital reconstruction of a city’s transit by merging transit feeds, smart‑car traces and open data, running massive cloud inference to map every train, platform and wait time in space and time. The demo shows per‑train passenger counts and per‑platform distributions — for one route 1,600 people missed zero trains and 1,400 missed one — and the system is live across three continents, producing dashboards used to spot chronic congestion and platform overloads.
