Data Dictionary
| Field Name | Name | Type | Description | Fixed Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| date | Date | DATE | The date of the record in yyyy-mm-dd format. | |
| time_bin | Time Bin | TIME | The 15 minute time bin during which the detections were recorded in hh:mm:ss format | |
| site | Site | INTEGER | The site key which indicates the location of the record. | |
| heading | Heading | TEXT | The cardinal direction of travel for the detected records. | <p>SW (south-west),</p> <p>SE (south-east),</p> <p>E (east),</p> <p>W (west),</p> <p>N (north),</p> <p>S (south),</p> <p>NE (north-east),</p> <p>NW (north-west)</p> |
| vehicle_class | Vehicle Class | INTEGER | The Austroads vehicle class reference. There are 2 classification schemes used depending on the site. 4 bin corresponds to the Austroads classification by vehicle length, one of: 1.Short (Length <6m ), 2.Rigid ( 6m ≤ length < 13m), 3.Articulated (13m ≤ length < 21m), 4.Bdouble/HPFV (length ≥ 21m). 12 bin corresponds to the standard Austroads level 3 vehicle classification scheme. 'Other' refers to an invalid class or error in classification |
<p>1 (Short vehicle),</p> <p>2 (Short vehicle towing),</p> <p>3 (Two axle rigid truck or bus),</p> <p>4 (Three axle rigid truck or bus),</p> <p>5 (More than three axle rigid truck, bus or crane),</p> <p>6 (Three axle articulated or rigid vehicle and trailer),</p> <p>7 (Four axle articulated or rigid vehicle and trailer),</p> <p>8 (Five axle articulated or rigid vehicle and trailer),</p> <p>9 (Six axle (or more) articulated or rigid vehicle and trailer),</p> <p>10 (B' Double or heavy truck trailer),</p> <p>11 (Double road train or heavy truck and trailers),</p> <p>12 (Triple road train or heavy truck and three trailers)</p> |
| speed_bin | Speed Bin | TEXT | The speed bin of the records in 5km/h increments. | |
| volume | Volume | INTEGER | The count of vehicles during the 15 minute period for the specified site, vehicle class and speed bin. |
