Detailed vehicle count at the exit of rue Van Loo in Aix en Provence from 25/09/2023 to 30/09/2023

Description

### Motivations for creating the dataset The main objective was to provide an overview of the situation in the neighbourhood using figures, which were used as evidence, as such a study had never been carried out. Indeed, it was a question of playing the role of counters to see the directions taken by the vehicles in the area studied. This panorama makes it possible to sort between the different vehicles, and thus to be able to respond to the future development of the district: reduction of traffic, prioritization of certain vehicles, pedestrianization of streets... There was no funding for the creation of the dataset. The members of the CIQ Faubourg Sextius took their personal time to collect data (about 12 hours a day). ### Composition of the dataset The dataset contains on each line the count of vehicles observed at the intersection of Rue Van Loo and Cours Sextius over a period of 2 hours depending on the type of vehicle: * 2 wheels * craftsmen deliveries * truck -3,5t * truck +3,5t * technical services * Light vehicles of Bouches-du-Rhône (VL 13) * Light vehicles from other departments or countries (VL other) and according to the direction of travel: * high sextius * cordeliers * carders * Thermal baths * Low sextius. To understand these directions of travel, you can consult the map at the following address: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/43.52966/5.44421 ### Data collection process The data were entered manually, on a case-by-case basis, and without IT tools. Three volunteers collected data on their free time. The collection took place from September 25 to September 30 (inclusive), every day from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. It was extended until 8.30 p.m. on Friday 29 September, in response to the influx of vehicles. You have to think about removing this niche to compare the data day by day. The vehicles were counted at the exit of Van Loo Street. Vehicles that passed over several times were counted only once. ### Data pre-processing The digitised counting sheets are available at the following address: https://public.hey.com/p/QEt7UtwgrNDFVLYidp5buTiV They were put into a database on Monday 2 October by the students of the Master 2 Information professions from Sciences Po Aix and EJCAM within the pedagogical framework of the course Digital issues of information supervised by Samuel Goëta. Sciences Po Aix and EJCAM are not responsible for the content or uses of the data. ### Dissemination of the dataset The data is made available to everyone on data.gouv.fr under ODbL license. ### Maintenance of the dataset There are no plans to update these data, the figures are representative of the situation and vary little, excluding school holidays. ### Legal and Ethical Considerations The data is aggregated and cannot be traced back to individuals.
