Oulu Region Road Traffic Data for Simulation

[Vishaka Basnayake]

In order  to conduct research related to road traffic in oulu city area, I need real road traffic information of areas in oulu region.  Would I be able to get the following data from Fintraffic for example? I did not find the following specific data in Digitraffic

Vehicle parameters: Type, length, Initial Speed, Max Speed

Vehicle Arrival rate: Time duration, Minimum and Maximum Number of Vehicles, Vehicles availability

Thanks,

Best Regards

Hi,

Have you looked at our TMS data? I would assume most of the requested information could be gathered from it. Minimum and maximum number of vehicles need to be calculated from the data. Documentation is available here: https://www.digitraffic.fi/en/road-traffic/lam/.

Here is an example data from a single TMS sensor: https://tie.digitraffic.fi/api/tms/v1/history/raw/lamraw_101_17_32.csv for a given day. Description of the CSV data can be found from the above link. To find your interested sensors please take a look at sensor location data, which is formatted in GeoJSON. Detailed API descriptions can be found from the OpenAPI document.

NB! If you are going to do data extraction, please read the Instructions carefully. Especially the usage of digitraffic-user header and restrictions for data retrieval.

May I ask what kind of research you are doing? We would love to hear, what you have done with our data.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
