Abstract The “Pennsylvania Traffic Data Book” documents procedures for developing accurate estimates of highway traffic volumes based on sample traffic counts. Traffic information is critical in transportation decision-making related to highway funding, traffic engineering, highway design, air quality analysis, planning and programming, as well as winter services, highway maintenance and construction. The “Pennsylvania Traffic Data Book” provides current traffic expansion factors through the use of tables, charts, and graphs. Expansion factors allow the traffic professional to use a sample traffic count and develop reliable and comparable Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) estimates. All tables & charts in the “Pennsylvania Traffic Data Book” are derived from the data of 59 permanent sites. Some of the permanent sites are excluded on a year to year basis. If it is determined a permanent site has less than 50% of the current year’s data, it is not used for the factors. Reasons for a permanent site having less than 50% of the current year’s data would be construction projects or equipment malfunction.
