Description

Hi,

My city publishes counting data for both motorized vehicles and bicycles on many roads (less for bikes...).
You can see them by zooming in on both:
* https://geo.brest-metropole.fr/portal/apps/mapviewer/index.html?layers=c42197968f52452da692df690475b18a
* https://geo.brest-metropole.fr/portal/apps/mapviewer/index.html?layers=c8ec1f97a9974e96bf4ef882bad71841

Most of them are "one off" measurements, so some roads have been measured in 2017, others in 2020, etc... I think some (and bikes) are supposed to be more or less real time (I asked, waiting for their answer).

The data at least have:
* Speed (average, 85%ile, for each direction, etc)
* Count (obviously), average, morning peak time count, evening peak time count, trucks vs. cars, day average, night average, and this for both directions
* The actual Geographical segment the measurement has been done on
* Link to a PDF with per hour data: (eg. https://echanges.brest-metropole.fr/VIPDU72/dep/Comptage_vehicules/BR-Moulin_15-avr19.pdf)
* Road width
* ...

Both are also available from the ArcGis API:
* https://geo.brest-metropole.fr/arcgis/rest/services/public/GPB_DEP/MapServer/1717006
* https://geo.brest-metropole.fr/arcgis/rest/services/public/GPB_DEP/MapServer/1710005

Even though I don't think the per-hour is available from the database (I asked, waiting for their answer) and the data is many years old in some locations, it seems like a good idea to use it to simulate the city more accurately. It doesn't seem trivial to implement though but could be a useful long plan goal. At least in France it's common for cities to publish such data (or maybe even mandatory).
