Context In order to optimize my estimate for the NYC Taxi Trip Duration Competition, I thought it would be helpful to include historical traffic volume data in various parts of NYC. This dataset was compiled from 2011 -2013, and consists of over 100 days in which traffic counts were recorded on an hourly basis for numerous locations (anywhere from a few to hundreds of locations). Content The traffic counts are measured on a particular road (Roadway Name) from one intersection to another (From and To). The data set also specifies a direction of traffic that is being measured (Direction - NB, SB, WB, EB). Acknowledgements I found this dataset on the NYC Open Data(https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/). Inspiration My hope is that with these data one can better predict the patterns of traffic in NYC on hourly and daily basis.
