Developing a Method for Estimating AADT on all Louisiana Roads, TechSummary.

摘要

The goal of this project is to develop a methodology for estimating AADT on all Louisiana roadways with an emphasis on non-state rural roadways. Exploring different AADT estimating procedures established previously and new data collection technologies will do this. Specifically, the objectives of the proposed project are to: (1) Review existing (permanent and mobile) traffic counts and identify roadways currently without traffic counts on the entire Louisiana roadway network: (2) Identify variables influential to AADT estimation such as population, demographic characteristics, distance to permanent counts, and number of jobs; (3) Select the representative parishes to develop models; (4) Develop the AADT estimation models for non-statement roadways in rural areas; (5) Explore AADT estimation methods for non-state roadways in small urban areas.
