I. Problem Statement
The data can be downloaded from here: Seattle Burke Gilman Trail U+007C Kaggle
The essence of this problem statement is that we need to detect anomalies 3 hours in advance. An anomaly is defined as >500 total people on the trail 3 hours from now. In order to solve this problem, we have been given per-hour data of trail traffic — pedestrian and bike.
