ZN Labs NADA engine

These charts come from the ZN Labs NADA engine. It gathers public data from many official sources, including sensor networks that measure traffic, weather, air quality and lightning, and collates it all in one place. Today it covers Singapore and Malaysia, with more countries planned.

The raw readings arrive in different formats and at different speeds. NADA brings them together and turns them into summaries that make sense, like the hourly and daily charts on these pages. The same engine feeds the PantauSivik app.

Each category page offers week, month, year to date and year views. The longer views switch on automatically as the history grows, so they appear greyed out until there is enough data. Hours are Singapore time and the data is updated weekly. These are summaries of what we saw, not live data and not official statistics. For what is happening right now, use the PantauSivik app.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PantauSivik History section?

It is a set of charts built from public data that PantauSivik has saved since October 2026. They cover expressway travel times, road speeds, bus crowding, MRT and LRT platform crowding, lightning and alerts in Singapore, with some alerts for Malaysia.

Where does the data come from?

Traffic, bus and platform data comes from the Land Transport Authority DataMall. Lightning comes from the National Environment Agency through data.gov.sg. Alerts also use public Malaysian sources such as MET Malaysia through data.gov.my. All of it is collected and summarised by the ZN Labs NADA engine.

How often are the charts updated?

Weekly. The date at the top of each page shows the last day of data. For what is happening right now, use the PantauSivik app.

Are these official statistics?

No. They are summaries of what PantauSivik saw in the public feeds, so they can have gaps and they are not endorsed by any government agency.
