The Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) for sections of roads for all vehicle types reported in the 2023 Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) federal report. Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is used to represent all vehicle traffic on a typical day of the year and is important for planning purposes, such as defining the federal functional classification of a roadway. The values are calculated using data collected from traffic counter devices, such as Automatic Traffic Recorders (ATR), Weigh In Motion (WIM) devices, and short term counters using tubes. All available traffic data collected throughout the year are then summed and divided by 365 to calculate the annual average daily traffic.

Reported Extent: State Highway System (i.e. all ADOT-owned roads), National Highway System (NHS), and all federal aid-eligible roads. Federal aid-eligible roads include urban roads classified as minor collectors or above (functional system 1-6) and rural roads classified as major collectors or above (function system 1-5). Roads where ATRs are available, counts are updated annually. For roads where short term counters must be used, traffic counts are collected every three years for all National Highway System (NHS) roads as well as interstates (functional system 1), principal arterials (functional systems 2-3), and sample panel sections. All other federal aid-eligible roads, including minor arterials and collectors, are collected every six years. For undivided highways, which do not have a physical barrier between the two directions of traffic, values are reported as the sum total for both directions of travel. On divided highways, AADT is reported separately on the cardinal and non-cardinal directions of the roadway. Note, the cardinal direction refers to the direction of increasing mileposts.

MDOT SHA Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) Points data consists of point geometric features which represent traffic count locations along public roadways in the State of Maryland. Traffic counts are performed in order to calculate the annual average daily traffic (AADT), annual average weekday traffic (AAWDT), and AADT based on vehicle class (current year only) for locations along public roadways in the State of Maryland. Overall percent utilization, percent utilization based on vehicle class, and truck-specific percent utilization are showcased as statistical metrics for each location where applicable. Ten years of historic AADT and AAWDT traffic count information is also available for each location where applicable. Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) data is collected from over 8700 program count stations and 84 automatic traffic recorders (ATRs), located throughout Maryland. The quality control feature of the system allow data edit checks and validation for data from the 84 permanent, continuous ATRs and short-term traffic counts. To date, four (4) ATRs have been removed from the ATR Program. Program count data is collected (both directions) at regular locations on either a three (3) year or six (6) year cycle depending on type of roadway. Growth Factors are applied to counts which were not taken during the current year and the counts are factored based on the past yearly growth of an associated ATR. Counters are placed for 48 hours on a Monday or Tuesday and are picked up that Thursday or Friday, respectively. The ATR and toll count data is collected on a continuous basis. Toll station data is provided by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA). A special numeric code was added to the AADT numbers, starting in 2006, to identify the years when the count was actually taken. The last digit represents the number of years prior to the actual count. Where “0” represents the current year when data was collected (in 2014), “1” represents the count taken in 2013, “2” represents the count taken in 2012, “3” represents the count taken in 2011 and so forth. Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) data is a strategic resource for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA), as well as many other State and local government agencies. The data is essential in the planning, design and operation of the statewide road system and the development and implementation of State highway improvement and safety programs. The MDOT SHA Traffic Monitoring System (TMS) is a product of the ISTEA Act of 1991, which required a traffic data program to effectively and efficiently meet MDOT SHA’s long-term traffic data monitoring and reporting requirements. Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) data is updated and published on an annual basis for the prior year. This data is for the year 2019.

Future AADT represents an approximate 20-year forecast for Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic for an average day of the year on the roadway. Future AADT may cover a period of 18 to 25 years but must be updated if the value is less than 18 years from reported Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) year. Reported Extent: All sample panel sections. Sample panel sections are any roadways, or parts of roadways, that were identified by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as requiring additional data to be reported in the 2024 HPMS report. Values may be available for other roads but are not actively maintained.

This dataset contains estimates of the average number of vehicles that used roads throughout the City of Detroit. Each record indicates the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and Commercial Annual Average Daily Traffic (CAADT) for a road segment, where the road segment is located, and other characteristics. This data is derived from Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Open Data Portal. SEMCOG was the source for speed limits and number of lanes.The primary measure, Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), is the estimated mean daily traffic volume for all types of vehicles. Commercial Annual Average Daily Traffic (CAADT) is the estimated mean daily traffic volume for commercial vehicles, a subset of vehicles included in the AADT. The Route ID is an identifier for each road in Detroit (e.g., Woodward Ave). Routes are divided into segments by features such as cross streets, and Location ID's are used to uniquely identify those segments. Along with traffic volume, each record also states the number of lanes, the posted speed limit, and the type of road (e.g., Trunkline or Ramp) based on the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) functional classification system.According to MDOT's Traffic Monitoring Program a commercial vehicle would be anything Class 4 and up in the FHWA vehicle classification system. This includes vehicles such as buses, semi-trucks, and personal recreational vehicles (i.e., RVs or campers). Methods used to determine traffic volume vary by site, and may rely on continuous monitoring or estimates based on short-term studies. Approaches to vehicle classification similarly vary, depending on the equipment used at a site, and may consider factors such as vehicle weight and length between axles.For more information, please visit MDOT Traffic Monitoring Program.

All other federal aid-eligible roads, including minor arterials and collectors, are collected every six years. On one-way roadways and ramps, the AADT represents the single-direction of traffic. For two-way roadways, AADT is reported only on the cardinal direction of the roadway and represents the total traffic for both the cardinal and non-cardinal directions of travel. Note, the cardinal direction refers to the direction of increasing mileposts.
