Description
The data includes traffic data from permanent traffic count stations located on the expressway S6 in the Tri-City Agglomeration area in Poland. The data covers the 12 months of 2016.
Tricity Bypass Road (expressway S6) is the eastern end segment of the Polish National Road No. 6 which runs along the Baltic coast between the cities of Szczecin and the Tricity Metropolitan Area, comprising the cities of Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia. The expressway runs North-South along the edge of the metropolitan area and constitutes a key element of the transportation system in the area.
A permanent traffic count station is located in the middle of the expressway, between Gdansk Osowa and Gdansk Owczarnia interchanges. The station has 4 inductance loops per lane installed according to TSL and HA specification. Data are collected continuously and comprise for each vehicle: time of passage, spot speed, class and length, gap between cars.
Data set for the whole year of 2016 was analyzed, including two directions: Southbound and Northbound. Over 27 million vehicles were registered by the station during the year. Data were aggregated in 1-hr and 24-hr intervals. Average daily volumes were 37 thousand vehicles Southbound and almost 38 thousand Northbound, with between 6.3% and 8.4% of heavy vehicles.
This study is part of MOP-DZ research project: RID2B - Modern methods of calculating the road capacity and assessment of traffic conditions of roads outside municipal agglomerations, including expressway roads, financed by the National Centre for Research and Development (Poland) and the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways.
