In the 2019 TRB Annual Meeting, the Highway Traffic Monitoring Committee (ACP70) sponsored a workshop titled “Traffic Volume Estimation on All Public Roads for Safety Analysis”.
Workshop Description:
The 2016 Highway Safety Improvement Program Final Rule for Model Inventory of Roadway Elements Fundamental Data Element, or MIRE-FDE, requires states to have access to annual average daily traffic (AADT) on all public paved roads, including non-Federal aid–system (NFAS) roads—that is, rural minor collectors and local roads—by 2026 to support data-driven safety analysis. The workshop covered the following topics
(https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/legislationandpolicy/fast/ssds_guidance.cfm):
· New MIRE-FDE requirements including access to AADT for NFAS paved roads.
· Stratification and random sampling procedures.
· Traditional and non-traditional AADT estimation methods for NFAS roads.
· Impact of AADT estimates on safety analysis.
