Abstract
Description
Since 1980, Dublin City Council (DCC) has been conducting traffic counts at 33 locations around the cordon formed by the Royal and Grand Canals. The counts are
conducted during the month of November each year. Since 1997 the counts have been conducted over the period between 07:00 and 10:00. Between 1997 and 2009, the Dublin Transportation Office (DTO) collected data from a number of sources on people crossing the Canal Cordon into Dublin’s City Centre in the morning peak between 07:00 and 10:00. The National Transport Authority (NTA) subsumed the DTO in 2009, and has continued to collate this data on an annual basis. Combining the two sets of data enables the tracking of trends in the modes of travel that people are using to travel into the city centre. This in turn gives an indication of the effectiveness or otherwise of various transport measures and policies that have been introduced since 1997 in changing people’s travel behaviour.
