Description

Description of the dataset

This dataset offers a long-term traffic flow data at an intra-city scale with high spatio-temporal granularity. The dataset covers the Glasgow City Council area for four consecutive years spanning the COVID-19 pandemic, from October 2019 to September 2023, providing comprehensive temporal and spatial coverage. 

The code used to produce the indicators is available at: https://github.com/YueLi-0816/TrafficFlowData.
