GUIDE FOR ESTIMATING URBAN VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION AND OCCUPANCY

This manual provides sampling and data collection procedures for field surveys that estimate vehicle classification and occupancy and (when combined with estimates of vehicle-miles of travel derived from parallel mechanical traffic counting programs) that estimate travel by vehicle type and person travel. Because sound statistical sampling techniques are used, these surveys can provide valid estimates at predetermined levels of precision and at the lowest possible cost. (Author)
