PLANNING OF TRAFFIC COUNTS

This report describes an approach to the problem of optimum design in connection with traffic counts for estimation of parameters in traffic models. The case with only one parameter (zero-intercept regression) is dealt with in some detail. Examples are given of two selection procedures. These procedures have a lot in common with the forward and stepwise techniques used in linear regression to select independent variables in an open model. The procedures are demonstrated by a short example. /TRRL/
