Use Cases

• Mapping cleaning routes and schedules by joining geographic identifiers with temporal data from 'Hora de Inicio' and day columns (L, M, W, J, V, S, D).
• Optimizing resource allocation for mechanical vs. manual sweeping by analyzing the 'Tipo de barrido' and 'Macro Ruta Código' columns.

Strengths

• Schedule data includes specific day-of-week columns (L, M, W, J, V, S, D) and start times for operational planning.
• Covers three distinct administrative areas (corregimientos) within a metropolitan region.
• Available in multiple machine-readable formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.
