Free U.S. Traffic Count Data for Use with Maptitude

NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS (USA) - Caliper is excited to announce the release of a free Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) map layer for Maptitude 2018 users. This latest version includes fields with total AADT traffic count, semi-trailer truck count, single-unit truck and bus count, number of through lanes, and road classification.

Annual average daily traffic is the total volume of vehicle traffic on a highway or road for a year divided by 365 days. AADT is a useful and simple measurement of how busy a road is and is useful for:

• selecting a new site or facility location, evaluating a site, or designing a territory
• determining funding for highway maintenance and improvement
• forecasting road maintenance needs and expenditure
• identifying the best location for your business based on traffic patterns
• analyzing how traffic may impact store construction
• analyzing the environmental hazards of sound and pollution related to road transport

The downloaded layer can be added to any Maptitude 2018 map.
