Pedestrian Counting System (counts per hour)

This dataset contains hourly pedestrian counts since 2009 from pedestrian sensor devices located across the city. The data is updated on a monthly basis and can be used to determine variations in pedestrian activity throughout the day.The sensor_id column can be used to merge the data with the Pedestrian Counting System - Sensor Locations dataset which details the location, status and directional readings of sensors. Any changes to sensor locations are important to consider when analysing and interpreting pedestrian counts over time.Importants notes about this dataset:• Where no pedestrians have passed underneath a sensor during an hour, a count of zero will be shown for the sensor for that hour.• Directional readings are not included, though we hope to make this available later in the year. Directional readings are provided in the Pedestrian Counting System – Past Hour (counts per minute) dataset.The Pedestrian Counting System helps to understand how people use different city locations at different times of day to better inform decision-making and plan for the future. A representation of pedestrian volume which compares each location on any given day and time can be found in our Online Visualisation.Related datasets:Pedestrian Counting System – Past Hour (counts per minute)Pedestrian Counting System - Sensor Locations

本数据集收录了2009年起全市布设的行人传感器设备采集的每小时行人通行计数数据。该数据集按月更新，可用于分析单日不同时段的行人活动变化特征。可通过`sensor_id`列将本数据集与行人计数系统-传感器位置数据集（Pedestrian Counting System - Sensor Locations）进行关联合并，该数据集详细记录了各传感器的安装位置、运行状态与方向读数。在长期分析与解读行人通行计数数据时，需充分考虑传感器位置变更对数据的影响。

本数据集重要说明如下：
• 若某小时内无行人途经对应传感器监测区域，则该传感器对应小时的通行计数将记为0。
• 暂未包含方向读数，但我们计划于本年度晚些时候开放该数据。方向读数可在行人计数系统-过往小时（每分钟计数）数据集（Pedestrian Counting System – Past Hour (counts per minute)）中获取。

行人计数系统（Pedestrian Counting System）可助力研究不同时段市民对城市各区域的使用规律，为城市决策制定与未来规划提供数据支撑。各监测点位在任意日期与时段的行人通行量对比可视化成果，可通过我们的在线可视化平台获取。
