The data is at daily granularity. However, the actual update

frequency of the data depends on the contract the site falls within. For telemetry

sites it's once a week on a Wednesday. Some regional sites are fortnightly, and

some monthly or quarterly. Some are only 4 weeks a year, with timing depending

on contractors’ programme of work.

Data quality caveats: you must use this data in

conjunction with the user manual and the following caveats.

The

 road sensors used in data collection are subject to both technical errors and 

 environmental interference.Data 

 is compiled from a variety of sources. Accuracy may vary and the data 

 should only be used as a guide.As 

 not all road sections are monitored, a direct calculation of Vehicle 

 Kilometres Travelled (VKT) for a region is not possible.Data 

 is sourced from Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency TMS data.For 

 sites that use dual loops classification is by length. Vehicles with a length of less than 5.5m are 

 classed as light vehicles. Vehicles over 11m long are classed as heavy 

 vehicles. Vehicles between 5.5 and 11m are split 50:50 into light and 

 heavy.In September 2022, the National Telemetry contract was handed to a new contractor. During the handover process, due to some missing documents and aged technology, 40 of the 96 national telemetry traffic count sites went offline. Current contractor has continued to upload data from all active sites and have gradually worked to bring most offline sites back online. Please note and account for possible gaps in data from National Telemetry Sites.

A dataset to show the 2018 traffic count from 62recorders located around Bradford. Not all locations have 100% of the data for 2018.

Traffic-related data collected by the Boston Transportation Department, as well as other City departments and State agencies. Various types of counts: Turning Movement Counts, Automated Traffic Recordings, Pedestrian Counts, Delay Studies, and Gap Studies.

~_Turning Movement Counts (TMC)_ present the number of motor vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists passing through the particular intersection. Specific movements and crossings are recorded for all street approaches involved with the intersection. This data is used in traffic signal retiming programs and for signal requests. Counts are typically conducted for 2-, 4-, 11-, and 12-Hr periods.

~_Automated Traffic Recordings (ATR)_ record the volume of motor vehicles traveling along a particular road, measures of travel speeds, and approximations of the class of the vehicles (motorcycle, 2-axle, large box truck, bus, etc). This type of count is conducted only along a street link/corridor, to gather data between two intersections or points of interest. This data is used in travel studies, as well as to review concerns about street use, speeding, and capacity. Counts are typically conducted for 12- & 24-Hr periods.

~_Pedestrian Counts (PED)_ record the volume of individual persons crossing a given street, whether at an existing intersection or a mid-block crossing. This data is used to review concerns about crossing safety, as well as for access analysis for points of interest. Counts are typically conducted for 2-, 4-, 11-, and 12-Hr periods.

~_Delay Studies (DEL)_ measure the delay experienced by motor vehicles due to the effects of congestion. Counts are typically conducted for a 1-Hr period at a given intersection or point of intersecting vehicular traffic.

~_Gap Studies (GAP)_ record the number of gaps which are typically present between groups of vehicles traveling through an intersection or past a point on a street. This data is used to assess opportunities for pedestrians to cross the street and for analyses on vehicular “platooning”. Counts are typically conducted for a specific 1-Hr period at a single point of crossing.

This traffic-count data is provided by the City of Pittsburgh's Department of Mobility & Infrastructure (DOMI). Counters were deployed as part of traffic studies, including intersection studies, and studies covering where or whether to install speed humps. In some cases, data may have been collected by the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) or BikePGH.

Data is currently available for only the most-recent count at each location.

Traffic count data is important to the process for deciding where to install speed humps. According to DOMI, they may only be legally installed on streets where traffic counts fall below a minimum threshhold. Residents can request an evaluation of their street as part of DOMI's Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program. The City has also shared data on the impact of the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program in reducing speeds.

Different studies may collect different data. Speed hump studies capture counts and speeds. SPC and BikePGH conduct counts of cyclists. Intersection studies included in this dataset may not include traffic counts, but reports of individual studies may be requested from the City. Despite the lack of count data, intersection studies are included to facilitate data requests.

Data captured by different types of counting devices are included in this data. StatTrak counters are in use by the City, and capture data on counts and speeds. More information about these devices may be found on the company's website. Data includes traffic counts and average speeds, and may also include separate counts of bicycles.

Tubes are deployed by both SPC and BikePGH and used to count cyclists. SPC may also deploy video counters to collect data.

NOTE: The data in this dataset has not updated since 2021 because of a broken data feed. We're working to fix it.

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Traffic Flow Analysis: This model could be used in smart cities to monitor and analyze traffic patterns across different times of the day, week or year. It can provide detailed insights into the types of vehicles and amount of pedestrians using specific roads or intersections, thereby helping in urban planning strategies.

2. Traffic Management Systems: The model could be incorporated into traffic management systems to dynamically control traffic lights depending on the type and volume of traffic. For instance, if a greater influx of cars and trucks is detected, traffic light timings could be adjusted to improve flow and decrease congestion.

3. Parking Lot Management: Retail centers, airports, or other facilities with large parking areas could use this technology to count the vehicles entering and exiting their premises, enabling efficient parking management and planning.

4. Transport Research: Research institutions could use the model to carry out comprehensive studies on transportation patterns, commuting trends, and the usage of different types of vehicles in different regions.

5. Safety Monitoring: The system could be used to detect anomalous events in traffic such as an increased number of pedestrians on the road or unusual vehicle patterns that could potentially lead to accidents. This could assist in devising safety measures and regulations.

Feature layer containing authoritative traffic count points for the traffic model for Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The data in the traffic counts model feature layer is collected for traffic count modeling and transportation planning. This data is collected on a five-to-seven-year basis, with data from 2001, 2008, 2013, 2018, and 2023. The traffic counts are 24-hour, weekday, two-directional counts. Traffic counts are normally collected during the summer months, but may be taken any season, as weather permits. The traffic counts are factored by the day of the week as well as by the month of the year to become an Average Annual Daily Total (AADT). Traffic volumes (i.e., count data) can fluctuate depending on the month, week, day of collection, the weather, type of road surface, nearby construction, etc. All the historical data should be averaged to reflect the "normal" traffic count. More specific count data (time, date, hourly volume) can be obtained from the Sioux Falls Engineering Division at 605-367-8601.

The dataset presents the counting history (per day) of the different counting sites (loop-type traffic counter). It is built from the webservice of aggregation proposed by Bordeaux Métropole. A join was made with the dataset Traffic Counter in order to retrieve all descriptive information from the counting site including location and date of installation (cdate).

A collection of historic traffic count data and guidelines for how to collect new data for Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) projects.

Average Annual Daily Traffic data for use with GIS mapping software, databases, and web applications are from Caliper Corporation and contain data on the total volume of vehicle traffic on a highway or road for a year divided by 365 days.

Annual average daily traffic is the total volume for the year divided by 365 days. The traffic count year is from October 1st through September 30th. Very few locations in California are actually counted continuously. Traffic Counting is generally performed by electronic counting instruments moved from location throughout the State in a program of continuous traffic count sampling. The resulting counts are adjusted to an estimate of annual average daily traffic by compensating for seasonal influence, weekly variation and other variables which may be present. Annual ADT is necessary for presenting a statewide picture of traffic flow, evaluating traffic trends, computing accident rates. planning and designing highways and other purposes.Traffic Census Program Page

The census count of vehicles on city streets is normally reported in the form of Average Daily Traffic (ADT) counts. These counts provide a good estimate for the actual number of vehicles on an average weekday at select street segments. Specific block segments are selected for a count because they are deemed as representative of a larger segment on the same roadway. ADT counts are used by transportation engineers, economists, real estate agents, planners, and others professionals for planning and operational analysis. The frequency for each count varies depending on City staff’s needs for analysis in any given area. This report covers the counts taken in our City during the past 12 years approximately.
