About the Company
Ride-sharing services like Uber have revolutionized transportation by providing convenient and affordable rides.
As their core business of transportation services solidifies, ride-sharing companies are now solving other relevant problems that optimise their core business offering.
This Menternship is an opportunity to solve one such problem of traffic congestion, a growing problem across metropolitan cities around the world.

Bridging the gap
Commonly seen in urban areas during peak hours, traffic congestion can result from various factors such as road capacity limitations, traffic incidents, road work, and high vehicle density, the last one becoming a more serious problem with the growth of vehicle ownership in urban households.
In this Menternship, you will work on traffic congestion prediction, identifying peak hours, Junction Comparison & Analysis and evaluate the performance of predictive models to forecast hourly traffic volumes at different road junctions.
Apply
the following skills
Algorithm Development & Implementation
Data Analysis & Modelling
Data Visualization
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

Why Do Menternships?
Each Menternship experience is powered by the MentorMind experiential learning model. We empower you as a Mentern to produce your own unique real work output through mentoring, deep-learning & applying your learnings to work.
All our Menternships are co-created with companies. They are designed for real-time work in the corporate function which allows all levers of a work experience to flourish in your Menternship experience.
You get access to a guild of industry mentors with remarkably diverse experience in their fields. Mentors help you with expert advice, domain guidance or to understand a specific task better. Moreover, you can always depend on our community of menterns, MentorMind Garage, to seek assistance from your co-menterns, guides & mentors!
Successfully completing a Menternship is no less that having practical, hands-on work experience. You earn a Certificate of Recognition from the Menternship partner company which can be showcased on your CV or your LinkedIn as a proof of your real skills!
As a Certified Mentern you earn a spot in the exclusive Mentern Perks Club, a MentorMind community that opens up networking amongst menterns from across the globe. MentorMind empowers the community with our amazing Perks Club guides, Do-With-Us workshops & access to work opportunities with our Corporate Partners!
