Deviations in Traffic Flow Characteristics Caused by the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic

Changes in traffic flows in cities occur over time due to several circumstances. Regulation and proper coordination of transport is conditioned by sufficient input data. The sensor network ranks among the resources that provide an overview of operation in road traffic. The city of Žilina was chosen to support the building of a sensory network with applied research of available data with subsequent use in practice. The sensor network offers a database for the subsequent evaluation of inputs from several points of view. The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with restrictions and many block measures that changed the dynamics of traffic journeys. The aim of this paper was to evaluate traffic flow deviations in connection with the continuation of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
