Calgary Weekday Traffic Volumes With Geospatial Data

Data.calgary.ca provides average daily weekday traffic (ADWT) volumes for road segments. The dataset includes two-way traffic totals and geospatial geometry for each segment. It was last updated in February 2023.

Use Cases

• Identify high-traffic corridors for infrastructure planning using the `volume` and `secname` fields.
• Map traffic patterns spatially for visual analysis by joining `volume` data with the `the_geom` geometry.
• Analyze traffic density per unit length by calculating volume per `shape_leng`.
• Filter and compare traffic data for specific years using the `year_vol` column.

Strengths

• Includes geospatial geometry (`the_geom`) for mapping traffic data.
• Provides traffic volumes adjusted for seasonal variation (ADWT).

Limitations

• Dataset size, row count, and specific temporal coverage are unknown.
• Limited to a single year (2016) as indicated by the title, which may be stale for current analysis.
