TMAS 2.0 QC Process Overview • All data processed by site by month and not by state by month • Station records will need to be up to date (July) • All QC checks are settable by site or by using the national system values – only for your State • All data will be kept that follows the TMG format* • New – data deletion feature – only for your State • New – data export feature – open to all states
TMAS 2.0 QC Process Overview - continued • Reports open to all states – dynamic search • Upload only thru TMAS 2.0 – no more FTP sites, emailed data, CD’s, or DVD’s • Some station fields go from optional to required – dynamic station QC • All Data open to all States – FHWA is promoting sharing of data, State-State
TMAS QC Process Guiding Principles Collect data once – process correctly and use it many times!! TMAS is used to sort data into those records that are suspect vs. records that pass all QC checks
TMAS 2.0 Station Information • New Required Fields • Year Established • # Lanes for Volume, Class and/or Weight • If a class or higher site – field 16 Classification System for Vehicle Classification • HPMS Sample Type (Y/N) • National Highway System (Y/N) • Primary Sensor • Latitude and Longitude
TMAS QC Checks for Volume • Every DOW check (7 days required) • 24 hours of data check (24 hours required) • 7 consecutive zero’s check • Any zero check with boundary of 50 vehicles • Directional splits check (tightened) • MADT check (tightened) • Maximum number of vehicles per hour perlane check (new)
Traffic Volume Trends Danny Jenkins Volume Program Manager 202-366-1067 daniel.jenkins@dot.gov
TMAS QC Checks for Classification (axle or length) • Maximum % Class by Direction for any day • Historical % Class vs. Input Class % check by day (same DOW) Example: Historical 8 weeks % for passenger cars is 64% with a tolerance of 8% would give you a range of 56% to 72%. If 61% was the daily passenger car % for the incoming data then the site passed for PC’s.
TMAS QC Checks for Weight • GVW vs sum of axle weights check • Any Axle weight range check • Any axle spacing range check • Sum of axle spacing’s by class range check • Minimum number of axles by class check • Steering Axle Weight Average (SAWA) check • SAWA extreme min/max range check • Average Tandem Spacing (ATS) check • ATS extreme min/max range check
Weight Records – special case • Vehicle with 13-24 axles – no QC • Vehicles with 25 or more axles purged • Dummy (no vehicle -1) records kept but left as null entries
TMAS 2.0 Reports • Volume • VOL2 – State TVT Report • VOL3 – Station by Hour • VOL4 – MADT by Month with AADT by Station/State (new) • VOL5 – Volume data upload by State and Month (new)
TMAS 2.0 Reports (continued) • Classification • CLS1 – Class by Day by Hour by Site (new) • CLS2 – Class by Station with no data in weight columns • CLS3 – Class by Station Monthly by Day (new) • CLS5 – Station multi-year by month (new) • CLS6 – Class by HPMS6 vehicle types by State (new)
