Review Objective The HPMS traffic data review is to ensure quality and consistent data from all State highway agencies.
Key Processes Currently Used • Roadway link/segment level traffic data – GIS tools • Statewide summary level – Database and Trend
State Level VMT Data Vehicle Miles Travelled by Roadway Types Data Sources 1: HPMS Statewide Summaries – daily VMT for rural minor collectors, rural locals, and small urban locals 2: HPMS Urban Area Summaries – urban local daily VMT 3: All Others – AADT x length of roadway segment - Full Extent Data State total = 1 + 2 + 3
VMT by Vehicle Types • 6 Vehicle Types Motorcycle, Passenger Car, Light Truck, Bus, Single Unit Truck, Combination Truck • 6 Roadway Types 3 Rural Roadway Types, 3 Urban Roadway Types • Roadway Type Merges VM-1 Roadway Types VM-2 Roadway Types Interstate (1) Interstate Other Arterial (2) PA - Other Freeways + (3) PA – Other+ (4) Minor Arterial Other Urban (rural) (5) Major Collector + (6) Minor Collector+ (7) Local
Calculate VMT by Vehicle Types & Roadway Types VMT by vehicle types = % by vehicle type x VMT by road types Example:
Example – Percentage of Single Unit Truck showing dramatic changes
