Orange — Top 20% busiest Melbourne-wide

Yellow — Middle-volume Melbourne-wide

Green — Lower-volume mapped site

Circle colours are based on each SCATS site's Melbourne-wide rank across the cleaned archive, not just its rank within this suburb. Circle size is scaled lightly by traffic intensity.

Methodology and Platform Context

This suburb profile is one local report generated from the wider Melbourne SCATS Intelligence platform. The platform converts more than 12 years of Melbourne traffic signal data into a public-facing transport intelligence layer covering historical movement totals, site rankings, corridor behaviour, suburb profiles, OOH exposure review, and reproducible data-quality evidence.

37,877,000,000Cleaned 15-minute SCATS observations

How to read this suburb report: the suburb total shown earlier in this profile is this suburb’s portion of the mapped SCATS movement layer. The Melbourne-wide figures above describe the scale of the full platform, not this suburb alone. The suburb profile layer turns the city-wide dataset into 517 suburb/locality reports using 4,427 mapped SCATS sites.

Input suburb summary: suburb_summary_v1.json
Input site lookup: scats_site_suburb_lookup_cleaned_v1_4.csv
Suburb/locality profiles generated: 517
Mapped SCATS sites used in the suburb reporting layer: 4,427
Movement total represented by the mapped suburb profile layer: 532,181,076,069 movements
Time resolution: 15-minute intervals

Boundary caution: Some SCATS sensors sit on arterial roads, freeway interfaces or suburb boundaries. For repeatable reporting, each sensor is assigned to one suburb based on its coordinate. This makes the profiles reproducible, but nearby suburbs may still be affected by the same corridor.
