torontoparking

Using Toronto Open Data to Analyze Parking Tickets Over 2.8 million parking tickets are generated every year.

1. Download the data (2014 as example) Toronto Tickets 2008-Present

2. Prepare the data (./prepare.sh)

3. Generate the result (./run.sh & script.pig)

This project uses a simple Apache Pig script to load the fine data using LocalJobRunner (non-mapreduce mode) and identify the worst street offenders.


An analysis from Metro News in 2012 highlights some of the problem areas shown here.
