Urban Intersection Traffic Timeseries

This dataset provides detailed, hourly traffic volume metrics for urban intersections, including vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit counts, enriched with weather and incident context. It is ideal for congestion analysis, infrastructure planning, and predictive modeling, empowering city planners, mobility startups, and researchers to optimize urban mobility and forecast traffic trends.

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.

Rules it was built with
  • 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
