Why is there no Wi-Fi on motorways?
National Highways are exploring the potential benefits of providing Wi-Fi access on motorways. This could help improve safety and in-car experiences, from receiving traffic and incident updates to allowing passengers to stream entertainment.
Mission: We need your help to advise National Highways on which parts of the road network to prioritise for Wi-Fi connectivity and why.
Task: You will be given information around the following factors Traffic, Length of Journey, Road Users, and Installation to make a decision.
What's involved?
1. Challenge: Why do we need Wi-Fi on motorways?
2. Data: How do different parts of the motorway differ in terms of traffic, journey types?
3. Trends: Which sections of the road network are the most used?
4. Answer: suggest which locations should get Wi-Fi first, and why.
