TRAFFIC DATA COLLECTION FOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IN THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA
The Texas Transportation Institute is providing traffic data on 25 urban corridors in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This data collection is unique in that it is designed entirely to provide modeling data. The North Central Texas Council of Governments will use the volume counts, vehicle classification counts, and speed data for transportation planning. One purpose of the data collection effort is to support development of a volume-speed relationship for the various area types and roadway functional classifications. Also, nine activity center locations were identified for travel time data collection. The information collected will be used to test the models's ability to predict travel times between selected activity centers. The results of this data collection will be used to validate the predicted base year travel times generated by the travel demand model.
