Don’t drive to Cardiff on a Monday…

May 27, 2008

Our database of incidents has been growing over the last couple of weeks, since we started recording data from the BBC Travel feed.

The dataset size is still relatively small, for meaningful statistical analysis, but I just thought I’d perform some random mining of the data, for fun. (Yes, ‘fun’… I do need to get out more).

From initial results, it looks like Monday is the worst day for driving:

And, if you’re travelling along the M4, the city of Cardiff – although not the largest urban area along theĀ length of the motorway – seems to suffer from the most incidents (clearly, it’s the large number of tourists flocking to our beautiful city).

More coming soon…
