Automatic continuous counting stations - raw data

Traffic volume data from automatic continuous counting stations on federal long-distance roads are made available to BASt by Autobahn GmbH of the Federal Government and the federal states in a uniform data format. These raw data available to BASt are hourly data and have not been checked for plausibility by BASt, nor have data preparations taken place. Thus, the files can contain, among other things, data gaps, incomplete measurement cross-sections, incorrect directional information and implausible lane arrangements. In addition, there may be time shifts, incorrect vehicle type distinctions, format errors and incorrect numerical values. The hourly data are available as raw data in the BASt inventory tape format for traffic volume data as ANSI dataset. The general information about the respective automatic permanent counters is provided as a CSV file in the monthly zip files together with the monthly hour files. Both the hourly data and the metadata only reflect the current status at the time of deployment. In general, BASt cannot be held responsible for completeness and quality at this stage of data collection. There is a complete disclaimer. BASt assumes no liability for damages resulting from the use of the information provided. A monthly update is foreseen. The results on the basis of the plausible and finally processed hourly data as well as the associated hourly data from 2003 onwards are also made available by the BASt: <a href="https://mobilithek.info/offers/573280210227470336">Automatic counting stations on motorways and federal roads</a> <br> <b>Dataset description:</b> <a href="https://www.bast.de/DE/Publications/Data/Transport Engineering/Downloads/DZ-Description.pdf? __blob=publicationFile">BASt inventory tape format for traffic volume data (PDF)</a>
