Free U.S. Traffic Count Data for Use with Maptitude Mapping Software

NEWTON, MA (USA) - Caliper is excited to announce the release of a free Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) map layer. Annual average daily traffic is the total volume of vehicle traffic on a highway or road for a year divided by 365 days. AADT is a useful and simple measurement of how busy a road is and is useful for:

  • selecting a new site or facility location, evaluating a site, or designing a territory
  • determining funding for highway maintenance and improvement
  • forecasting road maintenance needs and expenditure
  • identifying the best location for your business based on traffic patterns
  • analyzing how traffic may impact store construction
  • analyzing the environmental hazards of sound and pollution related to road transport

The downloaded layer can be added to any Maptitude 2017 map.

"I have a point layer of residences and a line layer of roads with traffic counts. I use the Overlay tool to calculate average traffic within 1,000 meters of each residence. All seems to work perfectly."
