Data, coverage & limitations

Real sources, defined coverage

8 building coordinates from VT GIS and 9 destinations from university or architect descriptions. Bishop-Favrao is currently a route endpoint until a suitable public space is verified.

The Sept 19 snapshot includes 573 meetings from 14 subjects. It uses section capacity rather than enrollment and does not collect private rosters.

Forecast model

The current class-change forecast covers Sept 19–25, 2026. It estimates how nearby class starts and endings affect demand; observations will be used to calibrate and extend it.

Library hours are a dated calendar snapshot. Other opening hours are unknown. Schedules and access can change.

Live reports

Seating observations are stored on the service and influence recommendations for 15 minutes. They are not reservations or guarantees.

The optional AI planner shows the actual data source used for each request. Class-change activity is an uncalibrated scheduling heuristic. HokieGap is an independent student project.
