Bicycle traffic volumes (DB Rad+) Hamburg

This dataset contains the volume of bicycle traffic and the average bicycle traffic speeds driven, which are recorded with the help of the DB Rad+ app in the Hamburg road network. The data is only used with the consent of the respective app user. The accumulated bicycle traffic volumes per year (in the case of a year that has just started up to the previous day) and the accumulated bicycle traffic volumes for the last seven days are provided for each road section. In the first year (2022), additional areas of the Hamburg road network were gradually added over the year, so that there is still no reliable overall picture for the entire city for 2022. Only those road sections are shown on which eight or more journeys took place in the period under consideration. The network basis on which the data is projected comes from OpenStreetMaps. The data was processed for Hamburg, in particular for display in the municipal geoportals. The data is primarily used for a qualitative assessment of which roads are used by bicycle traffic and how much and whether there have been changes/shifts over the years, e.g. because bicycle traffic facilities have been renovated or newly built. The absolute figures, on the other hand, are not very meaningful because they depend largely on the number of users of the DB Rad+ app. It should also be noted that the users of the DB Rad+ app and thus the routes used are not necessarily representative of the total population and cycling traffic in the entire city.
