Cycling volume (DB Rad+) Hamburg

This data set contains the amount of cycling traffic and the average cycling speeds, which are recorded with the help of the app DB Rad+ on the Hamburg road network. The use of the data takes place only with the consent of the respective app users. The total cycling volumes per road section are made available per year (from years started to the previous day) and the total number of cycle traffic over the last seven days. In the first year (2022), additional areas of the Hamburg road network have gradually been added over the year, so that there is no reliable overall picture for the whole city for 2022. Only those sections of the road where eight or more journeys took place during the period under consideration are shown. The network basis on which the data is projected comes from OpenStreetMaps. The data were prepared for Hamburg in particular for the presentation in the urban geoportals. The data above all serve a qualitative assessment of which roads are used by bicycle traffic and whether there are changes/shifts over the years, e.g. because cycling facilities have been renovated or newly built. The absolute figures, on the other hand, are not meaningful, since they depend largely on the number of users of the DB Rad+ app. It should also be noted that the users of the DB Rad+ app and therefore also the routes used are not necessarily representative of the total population and cycling throughout the city.
