Abstract:

CCMPO_TM ~ This geospatial database contains intersection points, which reference turning movement counts conducted (as well as their respective count dates) within Chittenden County, Vermont from the period of 1982 through 2006. Thus far, the items within the attribute table of the database reference the following; Intersecting street names of the intersection location, inventory of dates when counts were conducted, Count Station ID numbers (pertaining to a CCMPO assignment system), and a flag for the count if it is a 12-hour count (as opposed to a AM/PM Peak Period count)... Turning movement counts consist of AUTO, TRUCK, BUS, BIKES, & PEDESTRIAN data retrieved and processed from Traffic Count Boards as well as those from tally sheets utilised during CCMPO's annual Traffic Count Programs (conducted during non-winter months). Additionally, there are a few number of VTrans (Vermont Agency of Transporation) counts referenced in the database (such as EJCT-02, Essex Junction 5-corners in 2005). This database serves as the underlying structure running CCMPO's online traffic count data distribution system (see Online Linkage above).

Purpose:

This data represents the status of traffic occurrence on any particular intersection assigned a "Traffic Count Station". It is used for traffic impact studies, scoping study alternatives, and warrant analysis. The data is also used to check the accuracy of the CCMPO Regional Travel-Demand Model...

Data_Set_Credit:

CCMPO Annual Traffic Count Program, 1993-2006. It is likely that Joe Segale of CCMPO began to compile the locations of the intersection traffic count stations sometime in the late 1990's. CCMPO personnel subsequently coordinating work on the database include - Dave Roberts, Senior Transportation Planner (2000-2002), Daryl Benoit, Transportation Planner (2002-2006). Transportation Technicians and Interns included - Peter Burch (2001), Casey Garvey (2000-2002), Jason S. Sobel (2001-2002), Brian Bertsch (2000-2002), JEB (2002), Janine White (2003), April Lagacy (2003), Erin Flynn (2003-2004), Justin Tougas (2003), David Donahue (2004), Michael T. Birkby (2004), Hohai Dong (2004-2005), Brian Fernandes (2005), Marcy Brownell (2005), Anna Lisius (2005), Evan Kamein (2006), Laura J. Stone (2006), Katherine Rich (2006), Taylor Newton (2006).

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

LOS ~ A forthcoming key statistical indicator for intersection turning movement counts (yet to be added to this database) is known as the "Level of Service" (or LOS). LOS has been developed as a system of indicating delay at signalized intersections. It is graded on a letter scale from A to F, generally (outlined by the "Highway Capacity Manual", 10 sec, B = 10-20 sec, C = 20-35 sec, D = 35-55 sec, 55-80 sec, F > 80sec. Primary sources of LOS data have been Corridor and Traffic Impact studies. LOS data will be added to this database in time, though it has not been a priority of those making data requests from CCMPO... Historical LOS from prior studies is available for viewing, but has been left out of this database because of the age of the data, or and due to the fact that CCMPO did not calculate the LOS in-house. Requests for this data may be made nevertheless by contacting CCMPO.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

This database consists of data retrieved and processed from Intersection Count units and tally sheets utilised during CCMPO's annual Traffic Count Program (conducted during non-winter months). 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.

Most of the Points collected for this database have been translated from verbal descriptions or hand-drawn maps from the annual CCMPO Count Manifests. Points were then entered into the geospatial shapefile "CCMPO_TM".
