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.

    Elmar Brockfeld, Alexander Sohr and Peter Wagner from the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Transport Systems look at the prospects for floating vehicle data systems. Although Floating Vehicle Data (FVD) or probe vehicle fleets have been around for about a decade, the idea behind them is of course much older: from probe vehicles that flow with the traffic it should be possible to get a precise, fast and spatially near-complete picture of the prevailing traffic flow conditions in an area under surveilla
