Mobilität in
Deutschland (MiD 2023) |
BMDV, infas |
https://mobilitaet-in-deutschland.de |
Free and open
(survey-based, data release pending) |
Nationwide
study on mobility behavior in Germany |
Basis for
traffic planning, emissions monitoring, and transport policy |
Provides useful mobility data including
travel patterns, but limited direct relevance for detailed accident analysis. |
Data is aggregated, only download of PDF-formats,
data release pending; unclear timeline may limit timely analysis |
|
2 |

OpenStreetMap Foundation
(crowdsourced) |
https://www.openstreetmap.org |
Free and open, data downloadable |
Crowdsourced spatial data
worldwide (streets, routes) |
Base map for route planning,
infrastructure analysis |
Crowdsourced map data may include
infrastructure relevant to accident hotspots. |
Full
map data available may be good as spatial base for accident mapping but
requires merging with accident datasets; data quality varies; inconsistent
tagging and completeness hamper accident studies. |
|
3 |

European
mobility and transport datasets |
Cross-country
comparisons, EU policy relevance |
European datasets might not
have enough detailed information to fully study accidents, could only be
useful for comparion but less granular for Hamburg. |
Data
is aggregated and might require extra processing and harmonization, EU scope,
not local. |
|
7 |

areas, but lacks direct accident information. |
Aggregated
data, no raw export available; may require additional local filtering; not
accident-focused. |

analysis |
Useful for identifying
congestion hotspots, but may not link directly to accident reports. |
Commercial access; requires
licensing and technical API setup; may require fees; full datasets behind
paywalls; API usage may be limited; integration requires technical effort |
