trafikktype
trafikktype is a classification concept used in transport planning to describe the nature of traffic flows on a road network. In Swedish planning literature the more common term is trafiktyp, but trafikktype appears as a variant spelling in some datasets and documentation. The idea is to group movements by mode and purpose to support analysis, modeling, and decision making.
Common categories often include passenger traffic (persontrafik), freight traffic (godstrafik), public transport, cycling, and pedestrians. Some
Data sources used to determine trafikktype include roadside counters, loop detectors, camera-based counts, GPS traces, and
Applications of the concept include planning new infrastructure, calibrating traffic simulations, and producing reports for authorities.
