The purpose of this paper is to highlight the utility of publicly released urban data-sets and, more specifically, to detail how our analysis was undertaken and to demonstrate the interesting insights regarding vehicular traffic that can be gained from this analysis. This paper uses a data-set provided by Dublin City Council from their Travel-time Reporting and Integrated Performance System (TRIPS). Data from all 45 routes covered by TRIPS was continually collected over the course of a number of months for analysis. From these routes, 4 were selected for detailed analysis. It can be observed that while the routes themselves exhibit some levels of self-similarity, when compared to each other, in some cases their behaviors are distinct. These behaviors are assessed from a number of different aspects to gain insights. Finally, to highlight how data related to vehicular traffic can be used to aid the public, an outline of an application which provides recommendations to commuters is provided. The purpose of this application is to utilise the previously discussed data and analysis to help minimise an individual's commuting time.
