Data basis for future traffic planning - cameras record vehicle volume by autumn
As part of the nationwide road traffic counts in 2025, Hessen participates in the large-scale survey of traffic data on federal, state and district roads. On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV), data on the vehicle volume are collected at around 3,000 counting points across Hesse.
The counts have already started in 2024 and will be continued from April 2025. The survey should be completed by autumn 2025. In addition to federal roads, state roads and selected district roads - at the request of some counties - are also included.
Basis for road construction and traffic management
The collected traffic loads serve as an important planning basis for road construction and traffic management at the federal and state level. What is new this year is that the traffic count takes place over a period of two years . The data quality be improved - for example by repeating counts if the traffic volume is influenced by unpredictable events such as construction sites or diversions.
Cameras in use - data protection guaranteed
Cameras are used to record the traffic quantities that are assembled on buildings such as bridges. These serve exclusively to classify and count the vehicles . All cameras are clearly marked , the recorded video images are not used to identify people or license plates.
Hessen Mobil are in use for assembly and disassembly of the detection devices . The road traffic count is part of the nationwide measure that is carried out every five years.
Further information on the road traffic in Hesse is available on the Hessen Mobil .
