Business Analytics Project ProposalTB29 [Group 2] Cindy | YeeLing | SewRong | XinWen | WenXinBusiness Question:How efficient is the public transportation in Singapore compared to Hong Kong?Delay in Train Services (i.e. train disruptions)Frequency of waiting time Transport Fares StatisticsAverage speed of MRT trainsMatching average fare per boardingSummary of proposed dashboardThe frequent increase in fare prices has raised concerns as to whether the fare price has matched its train efficiency.

With the question in mind, we drilled down to several segments to determine the efficiency. Since Hong Kong has the highest Operational Efficiency in terms of fare box ratio and it has similar demographics, we can use Hong Kongs MTR system as a basis for comparison.

Through this data research, we hope to share our findings with our fellow Singaporeans about the efficiency of the local transportation while providing assistance to the government for decision-making should there be any improvements needed. (100 words)Benefits of proposed dashboardDrill into specific detailsZoom into specific bookmarked locationAllow us to choose desired variable or data based on Dimensions and Measures All related information can be seen easily should there be any maps used for the dashboard (such as various train stations as bookmarked location)

Benefits of proposed dashboardReal time data-flowProvide better visualsAllows the updated website data to be immediately reflected onto our dashboard such as the rate of increase in fare prices or any fluctuations in dataData are placed in a systematic way easily understand the graphs (possible reasons for the differences in transport efficiency between Singapore and Hong Kong)

Real-time update from year to yearThe government can be updated about the trend in train frequencyFeature: Direct comparisonIllustrations for dashboard(proposed dashboard may be altered)Illustrations for dashboard(proposed dashboard may be altered)Figure 2

Users can spot the difference in terms of average commuter service being availableMore MRT stations compared to MTR stationsMRT is more accessible & convenientHelps to access current efficiency of MRTSample Dataset for Figure 2

For example we wish to create a chart that combines both the data for Hong Kong and Singapore using a shop to denote the data for a specific information

Sample Dataset for Figure 2Figure 3Illustrations for dashboard(proposed dashboard may be altered)

Users can:

hover over the desired location and distance (matching fare will be stated)create a journey with the shortest distance mapped outminimal time wastage & help in direct comparison of efficiency of MRT and MTRFigure 4Illustrations for dashboard(proposed dashboard may be altered)

Comparison of fare prices over same average distanceGuide for government to ensure the price range of the fare is reasonableSample Dataset for Figure 4

Features that facilitates analysisBar Chart-continuous/discrete data (allows for better comparison)Line Graph- shows the changes over a variable; forecasts future trends & take actionsDifferentiation in colours- better understanding + visual appealingQuick filtering- filter out useful information; zoom in on selected data & simplify work for analysisFeatures on Marks Card- differentiate information to avoid confusion (annotate charts to make it more informative)URL action- extracts live data on the dashboard and allows instant updates
