| vehicle_class | Vehicle Class | INTEGER | The Austroads vehicle class reference. There are 2 classification schemes used depending on the site. 4 bin corresponds to the Austroads classification by vehicle length, one of: 1.Short (Length <6m ), 2.Rigid ( 6m ≤ length < 13m), 3.Articulated (13m ≤ length < 21m), 4.Bdouble/HPFV (length ≥ 21m). 12 bin corresponds to the standard Austroads level 3 vehicle classification scheme. 'Other' refers to an invalid class or error in classification |
