Context

The Luxembourg administration of Ponts et Chaussées makes available a set of open data via the Luxembourg data platform data.public.lu https://data.public.lu/fr/organizations/administration-des-ponts-et-chaussees

The Motorway traffic data can be queried in real time every 5 minutes for each motorway (A1, A3, A4, A6, A7, A13, B40)

The data are available through the luxembourgish data platform : https://data.public.lu/en/datasets/cita-donnees-trafic-en-datex-ii/

For example, the url to load the real time data for the motorway A1 is : https://www.cita.lu/info_trafic/datex/trafficstatus_a1

The real time traffic status can be viewed on the site cita.lu

> This datasets aggregate all the data (186 cameras) of the motorways (A1, A3, A4, A6, A7, A13, B40) between the 19/11/2019 and the 26/12/2019.

Content

For each of the 186 cameras on the motorways (A1, A3, A4, A6, A7, A13, B40) the following data has been captured every 5 minutes between the 19/11/2019 and the 26/12/2019 :

• Camera ID
• Measurement timestamp
• Direction ( from town, to town)
• Latitude and longitude of the camera
• Distance from the camera to the start of the motorway (camera at km x)
• Average speed in km/h
• Traffic concentration in percentage
• Traffic flow in number of cars per hour

Columns are ['id','time','latitude','longitude','direction','road','trafficStatus','avgVehicleSpeed','vehicleFlowRate','trafficConcentration']

Inspiration

Every day, more than 200,000 cross-border workers come to work in Luxembourg, causing regular traffic jams.

With these data, several directions of study are possible:

• Time series forecasting : predict traffic flow
• Predict traffic jams
• Network analysis : analysis the car flow
