Urban travel delay index
Variable Definition
Measures the increase in travel times due to congestion in the street network. The index for each area unit is approximated by measuring delays for 30 random origin-destination pairs in the street network and seven points in time during peak hours of a typical weekday. Each pair of points and moment in time determine a set of observations for each unit. Interpretation: Index ranges from zero to infinity. A value of zero means that traffic does not increase travel time. An index of X means travel time in traffic is (1+X) times the travel time without traffic. Year of data: January 2018.
