Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 200 rows came out of a blueprint — 17 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
- Each row represents one intersection per day
- Traffic volume measured hourly between 6AM-10PM
- Randomized intersection IDs ensure privacy; no real identifiers
- Includes weather and event flags impacting traffic
- Synthetic time-series patterns mimic real-world rush hours
- Missing data points simulated for sensor outages
