Abstract:Annual Average Daily Traffi c (AADT) is a key input in operations and transportation planning for the state departments of transportation (DOTs), because AADT provides information for the planning of new road construction, determination of roadway geometry, congestion management, pavement design and maintenance, air quality assessment, and safety evaluations. Accurate AADT data are vital to the calibration and validation of travel demand models. AADT is also used to estimate state-wide vehicle miles traveled on all of the roadways and is used by local governments and the environmental protection agencies to determine compliance with the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendment. Additionally, AADT is reported annually by the DOTs to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
