Bicycle traffic volumes (city bikes) Hamburg

This dataset contains the volumes of cycling that were recorded in the context of the campaign “Stadtradeln” of the Klima-Bündnis e.V. by users of the Stadtradeln app in the city area of Hamburg in the years 2018 to 2020 in a 3-week period.

The data record is an excerpt of a German-wide data record.
This data set was prepared in the course of the research project MOVEBIS at TU Dresden. This is a mFUND project of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure. The data is licensed under CC-BY-NC, i.e. it may not be reused for commercial purposes and the author must be named. The author reads as follows: “Grubitzsch P., Lißner S., Huber S., Springer T., [2021] Technical University Dresden, Chair of Computer Networks and Chair of Transport Ecology”.
The network on which the data is projected comes from Open Street Maps.

This dataset contains only the traffic volumes for the city of Hamburg.
Germany-wide data (cycling volumes, speeds and heat maps) are available via mCloud (see references).

The data were prepared for Hamburg in particular for the presentation in the urban geoportals. The data mainly serve a qualitative assessment of which roads are used how much of cycling 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 very meaningful, as they depend significantly on the number of participants in the Stadtradeln campaign and have therefore increased significantly over the years.

It should also be noted that the participants in the action Stadtradeln and thus also the routes used are not necessarily representative of the total population and cycling traffic throughout the city.
