StreetLight Data expands AADT to Canada

StreetLight Data has expanded its Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) metrics to Canada to assist transportation planners and engineers in analysing infrastructure projects and estimating road safety. StreetLight Data says AADT provides on-demand traffic volumes for over 4.5 million miles of Canadian and US roadways.

8830 StreetLight Data has expanded its Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) metrics to Canada to assist transportation planners and engineers in analysing infrastructure projects and estimating road safety.


StreetLight Data says AADT provides on-demand traffic volumes for over 4.5 million miles of Canadian and US roadways.

The StreetLight Insight platform will allow users to obtain accurate AADT counts for nearly every Canadian and US road in minutes, the company adds.

Laura Schewel, CEO of StreetLight Data, says: “With our AADT Canada release we can now bring complete traffic data sets to planners covering both Canada’s largest cities and extensive rural areas.”

The company says AADT can be rendered for bi-directional traffic or can focus on traffic moving in one direction on a roadway, including ramps, freeway-to-freeway connectors or local roads. Each analysis also includes a prediction interval for the metrics provided.

    Road authorities have a lot to gain from high-resolution traffic data, argues Pravin Varaiya. Traffic engineers have traditionally been forced to operate with limited data regarding the performance of their arterials. Traffic studies are often commissioned once every three years, over a few days, to get an updated estimate of utilization.

    Local authorities and communities must understand the impacts of the new mobility options and regulate to get the transport systems they want, according to a new report. Colin Sowman takes a look. Outside of the big cities plagued with congestion, the existing transportation system(s) often cope adequately, and the ongoing workload (maintenance, safety…) is more than enough to keep local transport authorities busy. Is it, therefore, a good use of public service employees’ time to keep abreast of the raft

    Wireless transmission of data and control information is making smarter traffic management easier and cheaper to install. It has long been known that connectivity is the key to improving traffic management and many cost-benefit studies prove that investment in new technology can be justified in terms of reduced congestion, shorter travel times, improved safety and air quality. However, many authorities’ cap-ex budgets only cover urgent matters, not improvements, making it difficult, if not impossible to
