This dataset contains traffic incident information from the Austin-Travis County traffic reports collected from the various Public Safety agencies through a data feed from the Combined Transportation, Emergency, and Communications Center (CTECC). For further context, see: - Active Incidents: Map and Context - https://data.austintexas.gov/stories/s/Austin-Travis-County-Traffic-Report-Page/9qfg-4swh/ - Data Trends and Analysis - https://data.austintexas.gov/stories/s/48n7-m3me The dataset is updated every 5 minutes with the latest snapshot of active traffic incidents.

This dataset contains information about traffic detectors deployed at signalized intersections in the City of Austin, Texas. The data is maintained by the Arterial Management Division of the City of Austin Transportation & Public Works Department.

The dataset contains the ranking and status of traffic and pedestrian signal requests in Austin, TX.

This dataset contains information about traffic cameras in Austin, TX. These cameras are used to monitor real-time LIVE traffic conditions only. Video is NOT recorded or retained of daily traffic. Traffic cameras are owned and operated by the City of Austin Transportation & Public Works Department.

This data contains information about traffic and pedestrian signals in the city of Austin, Texas. The data is updated on a daily basis and maintained by the Austin Transportation & Public Works Department's Arterial Management Division.

• Signal Evaluations https://data.mobility.austin.gov/signal-evaluations

The Austin Transportation Department manages thousands of IP-enabled devices which enable traffic signal operations. Devices include traffic cameras, battery backup systems, signal controllers, and vehicle detectors.

This dataset, updated daily, serves as a log of attempts to communicate with the various various devices on the traffic signals network.

Traffic count data collected from the several GRIDSMART optical traffic detectors deployed by the City of Austin. This dataset is no longer updated because these devices are no longer maintained The Travel Detectors dataset ( https://data.austintexas.gov/Transportation-and-Mobility/Traffic-Detectors/qpuw-8eeb ) is related to this dataset using the 'ATD Device ID' field. The Travel Detectors dataset provides more information on device location and status. The average speed measurements may not have been calibrated for all intersections. All measurements have been collected using automated machine vision processes and have not been validated.

This dataset reports on the operation state of traffic signals in Austin, TX. Traffic signals enter flash mode when something is preventing the signal from operating normally. This is typically the result of a power surge, power outage, or damage to signal equipment. A signal may also be intentionally placed into flash mode for maintenance purposes or be scheduled to flash overnight.

You can view an interactive map of flashing traffic signals here:

https://data.mobility.austin.gov/signal-monitor

Approximately 90% of the City’s signals communicate with our Advanced Transportation Management System. When these signals go on flash, they will be reported in this dataset. Although we are extending communications to all signals, approximately 10% are not currently captured in this dataset. It also occasionally happens that the event that disables a traffic signal also disables network communication to the signal, in which case the signal outage will not be reported here.

In this dataset the distinction between scheduled and unscheduled flash is identified by the 'operation state' column. A signal that is in unscheduled flash mode will have a status of 2 or 7. A signal that is in in scheduled flash mode will have a status of 1.

This dataset is no longer actively maintained, because the devices referenced in this dataset have been removed from operation. This dataset contains information about travel sensors in Austin, TX. Travel sensors are owned and operated by the City of Austin Transportation Department and are used to monitor traffic conditions across the city. The output of these sensors is available for download in the following datasets: Radar traffic counts related to this dataset with the 'KITS ID' value of a wavetronix travel sensor.

The City of Austin (COA) collects vehicle volume counts on an “as needed basis.” When a particular location needs a traffic study, COA adds these counts to the City of Austin Traffic Counts spreadsheet. COA does studies to install all-way stop and traffic signal controls, set speed limits, determine the need for school zones, and analyze traffic calming requests. The city does not collect any data on major highways within Austin. COA generally uses rubber tubes laid across roads that are attached to electronic traffic counters. Note: Traffic counts taken in June, July and August can be lower than average due to local school and University closures. C.O.A. contact: Jerry Carden @ (512) 974-5625 (Data Collection)

This dataset reports the progress of the Austin Transportation Department's Annual Signal Timing Program. Traffic signal engineers re-time approximately 1/3 of the city’s 1,000+ signals each year, with the goal of ensuring signals are timed for optimum safety and performance. This data powers our Signal Re-timing dashboard, available here: https://data.mobility.austin.gov/signal-timing You may also be interested in our dataset of traffic signals by re-timing corridor, available here: https://data.austintexas.gov/Transportation-and-Mobility/Synchronized-Traffic-Signal-Corridors/efct-8fs9
