Non Directional Volume.xlsx

This is a traffic count data file from the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT), Traffic Engineering Division, Traffic Monitoring Section, documenting non-directional volume counts conducted at Senator Way in Augusta, Kennebec County (Site #231102000205) during the week of April 2-8, 2023. The data represents portable Short Duration Count (SDC) collection, a category of traffic monitoring that MaineDOT conducts approximately 5,000-7,000 times annually across its transportation network. The count was collected using a SET (Sensor En-route Technique) device positioned south of the Senator Inn entrance and captured hourly traffic volumes across seven consecutive days. Peak traffic occurred during midday hours, with the highest single-hour count of 488 vehicles recorded on Monday at 11:00 a.m., while the calculated Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) for the location was determined to be 4,790 vehicles. The data demonstrates typical weekday traffic patterns with morning and afternoon peak periods, establishing baseline traffic information essential for transportation planning and infrastructure assessment.

The traffic count file serves as representative sample data of the types of information that the MaineDOT Traffic Monitoring Section manages and processes through its traffic count operations. This particular count illustrates the granular, hourly data collection methodology that supports the department's traffic engineering decisions and federal reporting obligations under the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) and Traffic Monitoring Analysis System (TMAS). The file is relevant to the current RFP #202510141 seeking a comprehensive Traffic Count SaaS solution, as the successful vendor will be responsible for processing, managing, and archiving similar traffic count datasets from MaineDOT's network of approximately 130+ continuous count sites, 22 turning movement sites, and thousands of annual portable counts, with potential future expansion to 12,000 portable annual counts.
