Road Traffic Counts in the Great East Region of France, 2018

2018 road traffic data from managers who have signed agreements to make their data available as Open Data. The dataset includes annual average daily traffic (TMJA) for all vehicles and heavy-duty traffic data, with a detailed nomenclature for the type of counting (e.g., permanent, temporary). The data was last updated on the platform in January 2022 and originates from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.

Use Cases

• Modeling annual average daily traffic (TMJA) for transportation planning based on the provided traffic counts.
• Analyzing heavy-duty vehicle traffic patterns using the TMJA_PL and TMJO_PL columns mentioned in the description.
• Comparing traffic flow data from different counting methodologies (e.g., permanent vs. temporary) based on the described nomenclature.
• Assessing road usage and congestion in the Great East region of France for the year 2018.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly for the year 2018, providing a specific temporal snapshot.
• Includes a detailed classification of counting methodologies (e.g., P, T1R, T4S).
• Covers both all-vehicle and heavy-duty traffic metrics as described.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2022-01-27; freshness should be verified.
