Traffic counts in Moers 2021

The specialist service 8.2 — Traffic/Road regularly performs speed measurements on public roads in the urban area of Moers. For traffic measurements, a measuring instrument (Impactor of Impact systems GmbH) is used, which is located in a small grey box and is unobtrusively attached to the road users to sign or lantern poles. The measuring device can continuously perform multi-day counts and speed measurements, so that the traffic situation can be evaluated. The measuring device performs the measurements using radar. The data that is recorded are: Date, time, placeholder (00), speed, vehicle length and direction of travel Example:26.02.16 10:05:46;00;034;02;1 26.02.16 10:07:06;00;043;01;0 26.02.16 10:07:22;00;018;1 26.02.16 10:07:27;00;047;01;0 Here are 2 special features: By means of the vehicle length in the measuring beam, the distinction between passenger cars and trucks is made via a separate program. Minimum length passenger cars 1 m Minimum length trucks 8 m Minimum length trucks 12 m In the direction of travel, the nearest lane to the measuring device is first mentioned, which are designated in the Ascii format with 0 and the more distant lane with 1. The respective file name (e.g. Landwehrstraße57_T30_15122014) is the street name, house number, the maximum speed allowed there (T 30-30 km/h; T50-50 km/h, etc.) and the starting date of the measurement. Since March 2020, measurements on traffic volumes have ceased to be representative, as the lockdowns and the increased number of home office sites have significantly reduced the number of journeys.
