How many times? A study of frequency and recency

It’s often assumed that many tollway users travel the same road frequently, but is that really the case? In much the same way as traffic volume can be analysed across several dimensions it is also possible to understand more about the customer using the road. How often do they travel? How long has it been since they last travelled on this particular section of road? How does this vary along the length of the road? Understanding what percentage of toll road users are infrequent users of the road is relevant for traffic modelling and how roadside infrastructure (such as signage, both routine and following changes to the road / drivers experience) is best implemented.
