Traffic Count
Procedures
The traffic counts are done by gross volume counters. They work simply
by stretching a hose across the entire width of the road. If they are
on a 2-lane roadway then the hose will be stretched across both lanes of
traffic. This means that we count all traffic going in either
direction. These counters are axle counters which means for every 2
axles that cross the hose the counter will count 1 unit. Multi-axle
vehicles will be counted according to the number of axles on the
vehicle, i.e. a 5 axle vehicle will be counted a 2.5 units. The gross
count is derived from air pulses that are sent through the hose to the
counter as vehicles cross over the hose in the roadway.
Since the counters
work by counting air pulses, on gravel roads the accuracy of the counts
isn’t as good as the paved roads. |
