Road Traffic - Paris

On the Paris network, the majority of traffic is measured by electromagnetic loops located in the roadway.
The data are raw without any interpretation or analysis. They give an overview of the occupancy rate and the flow rate on more than 3000 track sections.
Two types of data are thus produced:
The coupled observation at a point of the occupancy rate and the throughput makes it possible to characterize the traffic.
The equipment of the Parisian network: The main axes of the City of Paris are equipped with counting stations for vehicles and measuring the occupancy rate, for the purposes of both traffic regulation and public transport, information to users (broadcast on the Sytadin site), and study.
There are two types of stations on the network:
The rate measurement stations are set up very regularly: they provide detailed knowledge of traffic conditions.
The debit stations are less numerous, and generally located between the main intersections. In fact, the flow is generally maintained over a section between two large intersections.
