Columns sensor_id, direction_1, and direction_2 can be used to join the data with the Sensor Locations dataset which details the location, status, and directional readings of sensors, which can be obtained from pull_sensor().

Value

A tibble including these variables as follows:

• sensor_id: Sensor name

• date_time: Date time when the pedestrian counts are recorded

• date: Date associated with date_time

• time: Time of day

• direction_1: Direction 1 sensor reading (count of pedestrians)

• direction_2: Direction 2 sensor reading (count of pedestrians)

• total_of_directions: Total sensor reading i.e. direction 1+2 (count of pedestrians)
