DigiBoard

Introduction

• A billboard is a large board that shows advertisements. Big cities face problems of managing billboards with the traditional manually booking system.

• Here I propose an approach of the digital automated billboard management system with data analysis. System analyses traffic data with the help of machine learning/pandas, so customers will be able to target a large number of audiences for their advertisement.

• Also, we introduce a bidding feature that helps organizations to get more profit. Using traffic data DigiBoard suggests starting bid price to a publisher. Because of one platform management system time allocation, money transaction, advertisement management, and billboard management done very easily.
