Urban link travel speed dataset from a megacity road network

Abstract

Link travel speeds in road networks are fundamental data in many research areas of traffic, transportation, and logistics. To support the research in these areas, we develop a dataset, containing the travel speeds on each road link and in different time periods together with the real road network map. The dataset is collected from a representative megacity in Western China, Chengdu. The road network of this city involves different urban road network structures. The dataset shows the realistic variations and randomness of urban link travel speeds. This enables the research of real data-driven decision-making problems in traffic, transportation and logistics areas.
