Worldwide Traffic Congestion Ranking [between: 19Jun2022 & 26Jun2022]
TCI, calculated only for the center of the tracked location (the city image is split in 9 equal rectangles, forming a 3x3 grid. The central rectangle is taken into consideration when calculating TCI).
Every 20 minutes, the web app saves an image for each tracked location, containing the traffic data reported by Google Maps. After a couple of minutes, the images are analyzed, and the percentages of the 4 traffic colors are calculated.
Let's call these percentages:
green → P0
orange → P1
red → P2
dark red → P3
Obviously , the sum of all these percentages is 100:
P0 + P1 + P2 + P3 = 100
Based on these percentages, the TCI (Traffic Congestion Index) is calculated:
TCI = (0 * P0) + (1 * P1) + (2 * P2) + (3 * P3)
So the minimum value of TCI is 0, and the maximum value of TCI is 300 (highly improbable to happen). Examples:
P0 |
P1 |
P2 |
