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.

Colin Sowman reports from Orlando Over decades, the technology employed in toll collection has been honed to near perfection – automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are easily within a couple of per cent of infallibility even at highway speeds. However, technical innovations beyond the confines of the toll road cannot b

The mantra ‘We cannot build ourselves out of congestion’ has long been stated and too often ignored. But with the economy in dire straits, funding deficits and pressure to reduce governmental spending, this is now being taken seriously by almost everyone who has an interest in the flow of traffic. By ‘everyone’ we include
