Title: OPTIMAL DESIGN OF TRAFFIC COUNTS
Accession Number: 00495005
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The central traffic counting program in Israel covers the major rural highway network. Week-long mechanical counts are performed on each link every 1 to 2 years. This paper describes a study of possible ways to increase the program's efficiency by counting only a sample of links every year. Two possible methods for updating link volume estimates based on a sample of counts are described: (a) using network connectivity information and (b) using older counts for estimating the rate of change of volumes over time. The methods have been evaluated using actual count data.
