Unfortunately the competition is only for U.S citizen… poor me.

Only a few months ago in a seminar I went to some people from the "government" offered out a dataset of traffic volume, although they didn't know any details of the dataset. Really interesting this is happening in the US, the UK will follow... Exciting times. They are on the cusp of doing something similar here in the UK.
