Description:
Abstract:
This database contains the location points for counting bicycle & pedestrian traffic in Chittenden County, Vermont. In some cases, locations were conducive to collect continuous Bike/Ped data using either pnuematic bicycle counters and/or infared pedestrian & bicycle counters yielding Bike/Ped ADT. Other locations have single-day or partial-day long counts.
Purpose:
This data represents the status of traffic occurance on any particular segment of sidewalk or shared-use path assigned a "Traffic Count Station". It is used for traffic impact studies and scoping study alternatives, etc. where data collected over time can yield an expected trend of traffic...

Data_Set_Credit:
CCMPO Annual Traffic Count Program, 2000-2008. Daryl Benoit of CCMPO began to compile the locations of the traffic count stations and ADT totals in 2002.
Native_Data_Set_Environment:
ESRI Shapefile, Microsoft Excel file, Text/Plain (Comma-Delimited) file

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
ADT ~ A key statistical indicator for roadway counts, known as the "Average Daily Traffic", or ADT, has been developed to represent the average amount of vehicular traffic in both directions of travel, passing on a given point of road, over a 24-hour period, on a typical day of the count period.
MEAN SPEED ~ Average Speed.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
This database consists of data retrieved and processed from Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) & Infared count units utilised during CCMPO's Traffic Count Programs It is expected that the database will be updated at least annually until either fixed-roadway transportation systems or digital database technology are rendered obsolete...
Completeness_Report:
Counts are not collected for each location every year.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Most of the Points collected for this database have been digitised from digital orthophotos. Points entered into the geospatial shapefile "CCMPO_BIKEPED".
