Abstract

The data collected by ITS detectors have great potential in transportation statistics and research. However, their quality has been of concern because those detectors were initially designed for operations usages rather than planning usages. In this study, data collected by two regional ITS deployments are screened to weed out erroneous data. Several methods for estimating average daily traffic are evaluated. It has been observed that, while ITS detector data might not be as accurate as those collected by automatic traffic recorders used in planning applications, it is possible to obtain relatively accurate estimates based on short-term traffic data that has high quality.
