• Abstract:
  Annual Average Daily Traffi c (AADT), the average daily volume of vehicle traffi c on a highway or road, is an ; important measure in transportation engineering. AADT is used in highway geometric design, pavement ; design, traffi c forecasting, and highway safety (Highway Safety Manual). AADT is collected either ; automatically through permanent or portable count stations or manually at a fi xed point of a roadway. ; Louisiana DOTD collects traffi c counts regularly on state-maintained highways. Major cities associated with ; their respective MPOs, generally collect traffi c count data for the locally maintained roads within a particular ; MPO study area. Most parishes and small urban areas do not collect traffi c counts frequently, and the DOTD ; does periodically conduct traffi c counts on some selected non-state roads.
