Cambridgeshire Hourly Traffic and Cycle Counts from 2019 to 2022

Hourly data from Automatic Traffic Counters across Cambridgeshire from January 2019 to December 2022. The dataset combines vehicle and cycle counts for both directions, but sensor availability varies and some data is missing due to system unreliability. The data is provided by the Government Digital Service.

Use Cases

• Analyze hourly traffic flow patterns based on the hourly count data.
• Study cycling activity trends over the four-year period.
• Assess sensor reliability and data gaps based on the described legacy system issues.
• Model transportation demand for specific locations based on the counter data.
• Correlate traffic volumes with time periods based on the hourly granularity.

Strengths

• Hourly granularity provides detailed temporal resolution.
• Four-year time range from January 2019 to December 2022 offers longitudinal analysis potential.
• Includes both vehicle and cycle counts, enabling multimodal analysis.

Limitations

• Data completeness is limited; counters are described as unreliable with missing data.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
