NT DIPL - Palmerston Super Tuesday Bike Counts (Points) 2016

This dataset presents information and locations related to The Super Tuesday Bike Count event in Palmerston for 2016. 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/0003/405534/STN16-NT-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2016年帕默斯顿（Palmerston）地区**超级周二自行车计数活动（Super Tuesday Bike Count）**的相关信息与点位数据。计数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。

超级周二自行车计数活动会收集道路与自行车道上骑行者的年度出行数据与轨迹信息。自2007年起，**自行车网络（Bicycle Network）**便会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、建设自行车道基础设施，以提升骑行出行占比，同时也可用于获取骑行流量与趋势的纵向分析洞察。

超级周二自行车计数数据由志愿者计数员在热门通勤路线及骑行流量较低的支线道路的交叉口通过目视方式采集。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）于每年3月第一个周二的7:00-9:00；北部各州（昆士兰州QLD、北领地NT）于每年9月第一个周二的6:30-8:30。计数点位由参与合作的地方议会的交通工程师、交通规划师及其他交通官员选定。计数员需在标准化计数表格中记录所有骑行方向、骑行者性别以及每15分钟间隔的自行车流量数据。
