Will it be full when you get there?
Knowing how full a car park is right now cannot tell you whether to leave. Knowing what it does every other morning can.
On the last 3 Mondays this car park filled by 7:35am. Today is tracking those days closely. It should run out by 7:40am. Leave in the next 18 minutes.
Why this beats the live number
It remembers
A live number tells you about right now. We have the record of what each car park actually does on mornings like this one, which is the part that tells you whether to leave.
It shows its working
A forecast you cannot check is just an opinion. Every one names the real days behind it and what time each of them ran out, so you can judge it for yourself.
It errs early on purpose
Being told 7:45 when it fills at 8:00 costs you a few minutes. Being told 8:00 when it filled at 7:45 costs you the trip. Those are not the same mistake, and we treat them differently.
Measured, not claimed
Every morning in our history re-forecast from only what was knowable at the time. 11,036 forecasts across all 39 car parks, scored against what happened.
