A Prescriptive Framework for Determining Optimal Days for Short-Term Traffic Counts
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
- The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has mandated that state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) collect reliable Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) data. A study proposes a machine learning framework to identify optimal days for short-term traffic counts, aiming to enhance AADT prediction accuracy using traffic volume data from Texas in 2022 and 2023.
- This development is significant as it addresses the challenges faced by many U.S. DOTs in obtaining accurate AADT data, particularly for unmonitored roads, potentially leading to improved traffic management and infrastructure planning.
