This file is a traffic monitoring data report from the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) Traffic Engineering Division, documenting vehicle counts and classification data collected at station 230510000107 located on SR 4/26A/115/US202 in Gray, Cumberland County, Maine. The report contains comprehensive traffic data collected from November 27-28, 2023, including directional traffic volume counts, vehicle classification breakdowns by hour, heavy truck percentages, and peak hour analyses. The data indicates an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of 12,980 vehicles, with an eastbound AADT of 6,280 and westbound AADT of 6,340. Peak hour traffic occurred at 4:00 p.m. with 1,168 total vehicles (655 eastbound and 513 westbound). Vehicle classification data shows 94.53% passenger vehicles, 4.11% single-unit heavy trucks, and 1.36% combination heavy trucks, with heavy trucks representing 5.47% of total traffic. The data collection utilized portable classification equipment with both tube and class count methodologies, capturing 24-hour traffic patterns and heavy truck distribution throughout the monitoring period.

The report reflects a single day's comprehensive classification count used to establish traffic baseline data for the location. Traffic composition analysis indicates minimal bicycle traffic (one bicycle recorded during the 7:00 a.m. hour) and no recorded pedestrian data. The directional distribution favors eastbound traffic at 56.08% of total volume. A 1.03 adjustment factor was applied to convert the sample count data to estimated annual averages, with the classification data categorized under Group II vehicle classification standards. The data collection methodology employed both volume tube counts and detailed vehicle classification counts, with axle count information recorded to support weight distribution analysis. This traffic monitoring report serves as foundational data for the Traffic Count Software as a Service (SaaS) platform procurement referenced in the related contract opportunity, providing the type of historical traffic data that the proposed system would process, manage, and report on for MaineDOT's approximately 5,000-7,000 annual portable short duration counts.
