Hi guys, I am the creator of this dataset. Together with Allister, I am happy to help you out if you have any questions.

Yes, it is cars only and mostly European cities, and yes that's a limitation. Nonetheless, it has advantages compared to GPS/Bluetooth data, as it captures ALL cars (or trucks). If you're interested in car capacity of a network, macro or micro congestion, or other applications that require rigorous detection of ALL vehicles, this dataset should get you started! We're happy to hear from you!

Just wondering if there's a full list of cities somewhere? I only see a carousel and a (non-clickable) map.

I see a city in the middle of the US but I can't make out what it is.

EDIT: Oh it's Toronto. I couldn't localize without the Great Lakes on the map.

very interesting data! Would be even moreso if you were able to get data from a city with a large population like Lagos or Delhi
Thanks for your interest. Tokyo, Taipeh, Los Angeles, Paris, and London are covered :)
