Business Analytics Project ProposalTB29 [Group 2] Cindy | Yee Ling | Sew Rong | Xin Wen | Wen Xin1XIN WENGood morning Mr Tay, I am Xin Wen and they are my fellow teammates. Today we are presenting to you our proposal for the Project. We are working on a project that is very relevant to our daily lives. Withthat I will introduce our business question on the next slide. 1Business Question:How efficient is the public transportation in Singapore compared to Hong Kong?Delay in Train Services (i.e. train disruptions)Frequency of waiting time Transport Fares StatisticsAverage speed of MRT trainsMatching average fare per boarding2XIN WENSo, Our business question is, How efficient is the public transportation in Singapore compared to Hong Kong?and we will be having sub-questions to help us better analyze the data to answer the question.They are: 1) Delay in train services (such as train breakdowns and disruptions)2) Frequency of waiting time 3) Transport fares statistics4) Average speed of the MRT train5) Matching average fare per boarding

Through this business question, we are able to find out how well Singapores transportation efficiency is compared to hong kong.and by doing the research on the sub-questions, it will allow us to understand and compare clearly the efficiency for both country.

2Summary of proposed dashboardThe frequent increase in fare prices has raised concerns as to whether the fare price has matched its train efficiency.

With the question in mind, we drilled down to several segments to determine the efficiency. Since Hong Kong has the highest Operational Efficiency in terms of fare box ratio and it has similar demographics, we can use Hong Kongs MTR system as a basis for comparison.

Through this data research, we hope to share our findings with our fellow Singaporeans about the efficiency of the local transportation while providing assistance to the government for decision-making should there be any improvements needed. (100 words)3YEE LING

This is our summary of the proposed dashboard:

The frequent increase in fare prices has raised concerns as to whether the fare price has matched its train efficiency.

With the question in mind, we drilled down to several segments to determine the efficiency. Since Hong Kong has the highest Operational Efficiency in terms of fare box ratio and it has similar demographics, we can use Hong Kongs MTR system as a basis for comparison.

Through this data research, we hope to share our findings with our fellow Singaporeans about the efficiency of the local transportation while providing assistance to the government for decision-making should there be any improvements needed.

In short, through selected sub questions and data, we are going to compare between Singapore and Hong Kong and come to a conclusion as to whether the train efficiency has matched with its fare price value.

Through this thorough research, we want to provide consistent and reliable data for the government.

3Benefits of proposed dashboardDrill into specific detailsZoom into specific bookmarked locationAllow us to choose desired variable or data based on Dimensions and Measures All related information can be seen easily should there be any maps used for the dashboard (such as various train stations as bookmarked location)

4SEW RONGOur proposed dashboard allows us to drill into specific detail such that we are able to choose the desired variable or data based on the Dimensions and Measures.This helps to make sure that the information we presented are clear enough for the users. It is especially so if we have thousands of informations. Furthermore, we can zoom into a specific bookmarked location such as various train stations should there be any maps used for the dashboard. This minimise the time in finding the location. This is especially applicable to commuters who want to know the specific stations. 4Benefits of proposed dashboardReal time data-flowProvide better visualsAllows the updated website data to be immediately reflected onto our dashboard such as the rate of increase in fare prices or any fluctuations in dataData are placed in a systematic way easily understand the graphs (possible reasons for the differences in transport efficiency between Singapore and Hong Kong)

5SEW RONGMoreover, real time data flow allows the updated website data to be immediately reflected into our dashboard such as the rate of increase in fare prices or any fluctuations in data. It also provides better visuals about the possible reasons for the differences in transport efficiency between Singapore and Hong Kong.We can then determine if the transport efficiency is worth the value according to the data we found.

This helps to ease our job by filtering out the datas that are not needed and also data that would be of great help to us when analysing for both countries.

Real-time update from year to year

The government can be updated about the trend in train frequency

Feature: Direct comparisonIllustrations for dashboard(proposed dashboard may be altered)6CINDYWe will first show you the excel chart created from raw data, and then the proposed dashboard design.

On the dashboard, the data will resemble an excel chart, with the included features of real-time update from year to year. This will keep the government updated to the trend in the average train frequency. For example in Figure 1, should the average train frequency catch up to Singapore, it shows that Singapore should find ways to continue improving customer satisfaction.

The feature used is Comparison, to show the direct differences between train system in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Users can spot the difference in terms of average commuter service being available

More MRT stations compared to MTR stations

MRT is more accessible & convenient

Helps to access current efficiency of MRT9XIN WENFigure 2 allows us to spot the difference in terms of average commuter service being available. Although the MTR has a longer route length, it has lesser number of stations as compared to the MRT. This shows that the average distance between the stations in Singapore is shorter than MTR.

Therefore this shows that the mrt is easily accessible to the commuters, making it more convenient for them while raising the quality of Singapores MRT service. This information can help the government to assess the current efficiency of the MRT system.

9Sample Dataset for Figure 2

10XIN WENThe amount of train usage is highly dependent on the accessibility, which is how near they live from the train station.

The figure shows a comparison between the MRT in Singapore and the MTR in Hong Kong. It consists of the factors like route length, number of stations, system utilisation, operation efficiency and many more. As you can see, Hong Kong is larger in digits in terms of route length, speed, rail lines and more. But as compared with the number of stations available, Singapore has 15 more stations despite being a smaller country compared with Hong Kong. This shows that MRT is easily accessible by the commuters as compared to MTR. For example we wish to create a chart that combines both the data for Hong Kong and Singapore using a shape to denote the data for a specific information

Sample Dataset for Figure 211

XIN WENImporting data from excel to tableau, Singapore MRT is under columns and Hong Kong MTR is under rows. F1 containing the different values, is placed in the marks sheet and is denoted by different shapes.Figure 3Illustrations for dashboard(proposed dashboard may be altered)

Users can:

hover over the desired location and distance (matching fare will be stated)

create a journey with the shortest distance mapped out

minimal time wastage & help in direct comparison of efficiency of MRT and MTR12SEW RONGFor Figure 3, we will use a map to visualise the train fares according to the distance from a selected starting point. User can hover over the desired location and the distance and matching fare price will be stated.

User can then create a journey and the shortest journey distance will be mapped out according to sequence from the starting point. This allows minimal time wastage and help direct comparison of the efficiency between Singapore and Hongkong easily by flipping through the Regions shelf page (filters).

Comparison of fare prices over same average distance

Guide for government to ensure the price range of the fare is reasonable13YEE LINGNext, line graph is used to show the different types of fares according to the different distance the train has travelled. This figure shows the comparison of fare prices for the same average distance. According to the visuals, it can be seen that Singapores single trip fares are relatively more expensive than that of Hong Kongs. Eg. for less than 3 km train distance, the fare for Singapores single trip cost more than $1 while Hong Kongs single trip cost less than $1. From the graph, we can also see that for Singapores card fares, the more distance travelled after 10 km, the less expensive it will be. On the other hand, for the Hong Kongs octopus card fare, the more distance travelled, the more expensive it will be.In this case, we can see that at
