• Description:
  The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)recommend the use of ground count-based programs for the estimation of vehicle-miles traveled. The Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS), which is being used by State DOTs, is a program developed by the FHWA for the monitoring of the nation’s highway infrastructure. INDOT is not able to achieve its target 3-year periodic count program on all public roads in the state and is uncomfortable with statewide VMT estimates generated by this program. The objective of this study was to generate simple and effective alternative VMT estimation procedures to augment or supplement current ground count-based methods.
