Traffic Plugin

The Traffic Plugin is an optional geo plugin that is part of the project generation task-flow for new projects situated in the Netherlands. It provides the road system with traffic intensities.

This Traffic Plugin is active when one or more of these source is active as a Geo Option:

• INWEVA
• NSL
• Infomil

NSL

The NSL contains daily traffic intensities, stored per NWB id. This NWB id can be matched with the NWB of road features previously obtained. When a match is found, the daily traffic intensities are converted to an hourly value in the following way: $I_{d,t}=1.22\cdot I_{h,t}$ where, $I_{d,t}$ is the daily traffic intensity for traffic type t. $I_{h,t}$ is the estimated average hourly traffic intensity for traffic type t.

Infomil

Excel file vi_lucht_geluid_v4.xls that contains macro's to estimate traffic intensities for the road properties provided. The following properties are requested:

• The traffic speed based on the type of road. The type of road is determined by other geo plugins, generally selecting the road type based on road names, nwb data and bgt properties of the road (closed, semi closed, gravel or open).
• Single traffic direction or both ways.
• Amount of lanes on the road.
• Adjacent parking and bicycle lanes.
• Degree of urbanization, determined based on zip code or based on CBS Neighborhoods. Only two situations are considered: 5 or < 5.
