Due to COVID, BART's operating budgets have been greatly reduced. We need to use the vast amount of data gathered by our systems daily to anticipate equipment failures and target our maintenance response.
Our data consists of traction power, train control, passenger information, control center logs and much more.
In last semester's project, we have added public weather data as well.
If we could find a way to utilize our data more effectively, we could reduce our maintenance costs and provide improved train service to the entire Bay Area. BART would be able to do more with the limited funds available to handle system outages.
