Numina Sensor Measurement of Multimodal Activity and Shared Streets

This dataset is the resulting traffic volume data from a recent pilot of computer-vision sensors.

The following metrics were measured: -Volume counts of people, bikes, cars, trucks, and busses passing through pilot project areas -Volumes accounted for by mode and timestamped at up to 15-minute intervals -Desire lines and movement patterns accounted for by mode

The primary purpose of this pilot was to understand the impacts of temporary street-level changes that would be implemented to facilitate a safe re-opening in the context of Covid-19. A secondary objective of the project was to evaluate a privacy-oriented solution to data collection in the public realm.

Sensors were installed at three distinct locations: -In the Seaport district on a commercial street with bike lanes (Northern Avenue) -Downtown at a busy intersection next to the Boston Common (Tremont Street) -And in Jamaica Plain where the southwest corridor convenes with a blue bike station and T stop (Jackson Sq.)
