Traffic history
It's a long time I don't write something inside this forum. Please, may you be gentle with me if this is the wrong place to write about my topic?
I'm thinking about the traffic history.
These days, I'm driving my car a little, and I'm asking Waze to calculate my route.
Most of the time, when I drive on highways or main roads, the real drive time is less than the Waze time.
My thought is:
What is Waze doing with the traffic history? Is Waze purging the old data and replace it with the new one?
Considering the "new reality", the roads' traffic is reduced and the driving time is lower than usual.
More. Sometimes the viability changes and the average speed on the road could be lower than before.
Is Waze "purging" the old traffic history? Something like more old than one year (for instance), removed from the record.
The risk without purge is the "inertia" of the system to be aligned with reality.
It's just a mathematical problem
