  • Abstract:
    Numerous factoring and baseline values are required to ensure annual average daily traffic (AADT) data are collected and reported correctly. The variability of numerous methods currently used are explored so that those in the traffic community will clearly know the limitations and the extent of each method used and how to properly utilize methods for their agency to obtain the necessary results. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Travel Monitoring Analysis System (TMAS) data from 14 years consisting of 24 hours of the day and 7 days of the week volume data from over 6000 continuous permanent volume traffic data sites in the United States comprised the reference dataset for this research. Randomly selected (with some constraints) sites each include one year of 100% complete daily reporting and the set of sites represent 12 functional classes, years 2000 through 2013, 43 states and DC, and various volume ranges. Four AADT estimation methods were examined for accuracy when data from various time periods were removed. This report is a final task report that summarizes identified inaccuracies with current methods that are used for AADT estimation, and includes the analysis methodology and summary statistics findings.
