Results of road traffic census in the road network, permanent counting points (JDTV) Lower

Permanent counting points operated by the Land of Lower Austria on the national road network provide annual average daily traffic (JDTV) values for vehicle groups and truck groups. The dataset includes location information for each counting station and is published under a CC-BY-4.0 license by the cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich. The unit for traffic strength is vehicles per 24 hours (Kfz/24h).

Use Cases

• Modeling traffic flow and congestion based on annual average daily traffic (JDTV) values.
• Planning road maintenance and capacity expansions based on vehicle and truck group traffic counts.
• Analyzing spatial distribution of traffic loads using the location information for each counting station.

Strengths

• Data is collected from permanent counting points, suggesting a consistent measurement methodology.
• Includes separate JDTV values for vehicle groups and truck groups, allowing for differentiated analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
