This guidebook is directed to practitioners involved in collecting non-motorized count data. The Guidebook (1) describes methods and technologies for counting pedestrians and bicyclists, (2) offers guidance on developing a non-motorized count program, (3) gives suggestions on selecting appropriate counting methods and technologies, and (4) provides examples of how organizations have used non-motorized count data to better fulfill their missions. This guidebook also describes correction factors to improve the accuracy of counts produced by automated counters, factors for expanding short-term counts to longer-term volume estimates, and factors for adjusting counts to reflect environmental conditions at the time of the count, such as rain. The research behind the Guidebook can be found on the Transportation Research Board website as NCHRP Web-Only Document 205: Methods and Technologies for Pedestrian and Bicycle Volume Data Collection (NWOD 205). NWOD 205 includes the results of the testing and evaluation of a range of automated count technologies that capture pedestrian and bicycle volume data.
