Calderdale Traffic Counts from Eight Roadside Counters

Traffic volume data collected from eight counters located around Calderdale. The dataset includes fields such as Sdate (date/time), Cosit (camera location ID), LaneDirection, and Volume (vehicle count). It is provided by the Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze traffic Volume patterns by time of day and day of week using the Sdate timestamp.
• Compare vehicle counts across different camera locations identified by the Cosit field.
• Investigate the impact of events noted in the Flag Text field (e.g., roadworks, holidays) on traffic Volume.
• Model traffic flow based on LaneNumber and LaneDirection configuration at each counter.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from eight distinct physical counter locations.
• Includes a Flag Text field providing context (e.g., roadworks) for count anomalies.
• Managed and updated by a municipal authority (Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council).

Limitations

• The total number of data rows and the time range of collection are unknown.
• Sample data and column definitions beyond the described fields are unavailable.
• Negative Volume values indicate discarded counts, requiring data cleaning.
