Speed-Flow data for Californian Freeway
Description
These are two data sets collected in 1993 on two individual lanes (lane 2 and lane 3) of the 4-lane Californian freeway I-880. The data were collected by loop detectors, and the time units are 30 seconds per observation (see Petty et al., 1996, for details).
Usage
lane2; lane3
Format
Two data frames (lane2
and lane3
) each with 1318
observations on the following two variables:
- flow
a numeric vector giving the traffic flow in vehicles per lane per hour.
- speed
a numeric vector giving the speed in miles per hour.
Details
The data is examined in Einbeck and Tutz (2006), using a nonparametric approach to multi-valued regression based on conditional mean shift.
