Traffic strengths Demand counters Hamburg

In Hamburg, event-related traffic censuses are carried out at so-called demand counting points. These event-related counts supplement the permanent traffic counts by means of infrared detectors or induction loops and are carried out, for example, in connection with traffic planning or investigations.

The demand counts are usually manual counts, usually in the counting time from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., which is carried out on representative normal working days.

This dataset contains the average daily vehicle traffic volumes determined in these occasional traffic censuses as a parameter of the average traffic load of a road cross-section. Using mathematical-statistical methods, a distinction is made according to average values of all days (DTV, Monday to Sunday) and all working days (DTVw, Monday to Friday).

The traffic volumes of different timeliness are available as point information. The georeferencing is carried out according to a schematic representation of the node geometry and is therefore not projected faithfully onto the road network.
