Evolution of Travel Mobility in Lisbon: 1937-2022

This database was produced as part of the project Hi-BicLab. History Lab for Sustainable Urban Mobilities: Lisbon's cycling policies, funded by FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P.) under the grant number EXPL/FER-HFC/0847/2021, http://doi.org/10.54499/EXPL/FER-HFC/0847/2021.
It provides historical data on the supply and demand for the different transport modes operating in Lisbon municipality and Lisbon District. The transport modes considered refer to individual transport (i.e., cycling and driving) and public transport, and excludes walking due to data unavailability. The data collected covers the period from 1937 to 2022 and is organised in 5-year periods between 1940 and 2020. The starting year is 1937 because this was the first year in which a census of road traffic, including motor vehicles, was carried out in Portugal. The final year is 2022 because the year 2020 was marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, which had a dramatic effect on both transport demand and transport supply.
Transport demand is measured in terms of the number of passengers transported by a given operator for public transport (buses and trams; rail; ferries; metro), the average annual daily traffic (AADT) for passenger cars and bicycles, the stock of passenger cars and of bicycles, the number of passenger cars and of bicycles per 1000 inhabitants. In the case of ferryboats, the data also considers the number of passenger vehicles transported. Transport supply is measured in terms of the total seat kilometres (seat-kms) produced by public transport operators, and the length of the main road network (i.e., motorways, main expressways, and secondary expressways) in the case of individual motorised transport.

本数据库作为Hi-BicLab项目的一部分产生，该项目名为‘可持续城市交通的历史实验室：里斯本的自行车政策’，由FCT（Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P.）资助，项目编号为EXPL/FER-HFC/0847/2021，详细信息可参考http://doi.org/10.54499/EXPL/FER-HFC/0847/2021。该数据库提供了关于里斯本市及里斯本地区的不同交通方式的历史供需数据。所考虑的交通方式包括个体交通（即骑自行车和驾驶）和公共交通，由于数据不可用，步行数据被排除在外。收集的数据涵盖了1937年至2022年间的历史信息，并按1940年至2020年间的五年期进行组织。起始年份为1937年，因为这一年是葡萄牙首次进行包括机动车在内的道路交通普查。终止年份为2022年，因为2020年标志着新冠疫情的爆发，这对交通需求和供给都产生了巨大的影响。交通需求以公共交通（公共汽车和电车；铁路；渡轮；地铁）的乘客运输量、乘客汽车和自行车的平均年度每日交通量（AADT）、乘客汽车和自行车的保有量，以及每1000名居民所拥有的汽车和自行车数量来衡量。在渡轮的情况下，数据还包括运输的客车辆数。交通供给则以公共交通运营商产生的总座位公里数（座位-km）和个体机动交通的主要道路网络（即高速公路、主要快速路和次要快速路）的长度来衡量。
