NT DIPL - Palmerston Super Tuesday Bike Counts (Points) 2018

This dataset presents information and locations related to The Super Tuesday Bike Count event in Palmerston for 2018. The counts are presented as individual points which relate to the location where the counts were undertaken by volunteers.\n\nThe Super Tuesday Bike Count collects annual figures of bicycle riders and their movements on roads and bike paths. Since 2007, Bicycle Network has conducted bicycle counts at key intersections and corridors selected by local governments. The data is available for researchers and policymakers to plan and build cycling infrastructure to promote increased cycling activity, and to gather longitudinal insights of cycling volumes and trends.\n\nSuper Tuesday count data is collected visually by volunteer counters at intersections along popular commuter routes, as well as subsidiary routes with lower rider volumes. The count is conducted in southern states (VIC, NSW, SA, WA) between 7:00-9:00am on the first Tuesday of March; and in northern states (QLD, NT) between 6:30-8:30am on the first Tuesday of September. Count locations are nominated by traffic engineers, transport planners, and other transport officers from participating councils. Counters record all movement directions, rider gender, and bicycle volume per fifteen-minute increments on standardised count sheets. \n\nFor more information please visit the [Norther Territory Government Open Data Portal](https://dipl.nt.gov.au/data/cycling-statistics) or view the [Bicycle Network Super Tuesday Count Report](https://dipl.nt.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/659725/stn18-palmerston.pdf).\n\nPlease note: \n\n * Where there was no data available ("no data", "NA", "#N/A" in the original data) the values have been set to NULL.\n

本数据集包含2018年帕默斯顿（Palmerston）“超级星期二”自行车计数（Super Tuesday Bike Count）活动的相关信息与点位数据。该计数结果以独立点位形式呈现，对应志愿者开展计数工作的具体位置。

“超级星期二”自行车计数活动旨在收集道路与自行车道上的骑行者数量及其出行轨迹的年度统计数据。自2007年起，澳大利亚自行车网络（Bicycle Network）便在地方政府选定的关键交叉口与通勤廊道开展自行车计数工作。该数据集可供研究人员与政策制定者用于规划、建设自行车骑行基础设施，以推广骑行活动，同时也可用于获取骑行流量与趋势的长期观测洞察。

“超级星期二”的计数数据由志愿者计数员通过目视方式采集，采集点位涵盖热门通勤线路沿线的交叉口，以及骑行流量较低的支线道路。本次计数活动的开展时间为：南部各州（维多利亚州VIC、新南威尔士州NSW、南澳大利亚州SA、西澳大利亚州WA）于3月第一个星期二的7:00-9:00开展；北部各州（昆士兰州QLD、北领地NT）则于9月第一个星期二的6:30-8:30举行。计数点位由参与合作的地方议会的交通工程师、运输规划师及其他交通官员提名确定。志愿者计数员需在标准化计数表格上记录所有出行方向、骑行者性别及每15分钟间隔的自行车流量。
