2016 HPMS FIELD MANUAL GUIDANCE - VOLUME DATA

For AADT (Pages 4-51 and 4-52)

For two-way facilities, provide the bidirectional AADT; for one-way roadways, and ramps, provide the directional AADT.

All AADTs shall reflect application of day of week, seasonal, and axle correction factors, as necessary; no other adjustment factors shall be used.

Growth factors shall be applied if the AADT is not derived from current year counts.

AADTs for the NHS, Interstate, Principal Arterial (OFE, OPA) roadway sections shall be based on traffic counts taken on a minimum three-year cycle.

AADTs for the non-Principal Arterial System (i.e., Minor Arterials, Major Collectors, and Urban Minor Collectors) can be based on a minimum six-year counting cycle.

2016 HPMS FIELD MANUAL GUIDANCE – CLASS DATA

For Single Unit and Combination Unit AADT (Pages 4-52 to 4-57)

AADT values shall be updated annually to represent current year data.

Section specific measured values are requested based on traffic counts taken on a minimum three-year cycle.

If these data are not available, values derived from classification station data on the same route, or on a similar route with similar traffic characteristics in the same area can be used

TRAVEL MONITORING : CLASS LINK ASSIGNMENT26

Find the adjacent section on same route with similar FC, thru

lanes, and urban code, and assign class data*

* Preference is given to permanent stations over short-

term stations

AADT CLASS COUNT ASSIGNMENT27

Page 31: Spatial Modeling for Highway Performance Monitoring System ...onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/webinars/180306.pdf · The Transportation Research Board has met the standards and requirements

CONSIDERATIONS FOR APPLYING GROWTH RATES

Growth rates are applied on a statewide level

Further investigation required on applying growth rates based on:

Urban area codes

Rate computed from just the permanent stations

Considerations for:

Low volume rural roadways

Large area vs. small area

Sections that traverse multiple boundaries e.g. interstates

28

Page 32: Spatial Modeling for Highway Performance Monitoring System ...onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/webinars/180306.pdf · The Transportation Research Board has met the standards and requirements

CONSIDERATIONS FOR USING JOINS Attribute Joins

Attribute joins can use MILEPOINT and ROUTE information with respect to Section start and end mile points.

More accurate, if and only if, data attributes are correctly set in both the Station and Link records.

Spatial Joins

Point is typically matched to a target line which is closest/intersects/contains the point

Uses a search radius or tolerance

Issues include wrongly assigned joins e.g. ramp counts with coordinates placed close to the interstate

Best compromise is a spatial join with attribute join

TRUCK AADT COMPUTATION33

TRUCK AADT for each section

Using the Permanent Stations Adjust Short Term Class Stations

Truck Single Unit = (Daily Single Unit Trucks (Class 5-7) + Bus )

Percent Peak Combination = (Daily Combination Unit Trucks , FHWA class 8-13 )

Page 37: Spatial Modeling for Highway Performance Monitoring System ...onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/webinars/180306.pdf · The Transportation Research Board has met the standards and requirements

AADT K, D FACTOR ASSIGNMENT

Both K-factor ( the design hour volume - 30 th largest hourly volume for a given calendar year) as a percentage of AADT) and the Directional Factor (D) ( the percent of design hour volume - 30th largest hourly volume for a given calendar year flowing in the higher volume direction) are assigned to AADT links via permanent station factor groups.

VALIDATION FOR TRAFFIC DATA ITEMS

FHWA Validation Queries are heavily dependent on user table structure, yet they are as simple as a single query once the table data are generated.

Samples will be provided when requested.

PEAK HOUR ASSIGNMENT36

Peak Hour AADT for each section

Using the Permanent Stations Adjust Short Term Class Stations

Percent Peak Single = (Peak Hour Daily Single Unit Trucks + Bus ) / (AADT )

Percent Peak Combination = (Peak Hour Daily Combination Unit Trucks ) / (AADT )

Page 56: Spatial Modeling for Highway Performance Monitoring System ...onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/webinars/180306.pdf · The Transportation Research Board has met the standards and requirements

PURPOSE OF RAMP BALANCING Need to report traffic (AADT) on all interstate mainline sections.

Hard to count some sections, so “Ramp balancing can be used to estimate traffic volumes on roads where portable counts cannot be performed safely” (TMG 2017)

Its called “ramp balancing” because AADT values are adjusted so they “balance” along the computed sections.

SETTING UP FROM SPATIAL ANALYSIS

Continuous counters are called “Anchor points”. They are not changed by the computation.

Determine which ramps are part of a given computation.

Some ramps are actually connectors. They areOn for computing one highway segment butOff for another.

The order in which On and Off ramps appear in the computation is essential. Use mile points and look closely at the map.

The compass directions (N, S, E, W) that ramps flow towards are essential in computation

CONSIDERATIONS FROM SPATIAL ANALYSIS

- Direction of traffic

- Order of ramps

- Ramp counts may have happened on different days

- “Missing” ramp values must be imputed: They are not calculated here
