Traffic Count and Analytics

AIRLOOP provides the most accurate and best in class traffic data compatible with FHWA, AASHTO, NTRC & NHA vehicle classification systems

Analyse your road networks using the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) data under any of the compatible standards including the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Vehicle Classification Scheme, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Vehicle Classification, and the Ministry of Communication Pakistan through the standards followed by the National Transport Research Center (NTRC) and the National Highways Authority (NHA).

AIRLOOP’s AI based traffic analytics platform is for multi lane, bi directional traffic monitoring with a modular system to enable installations in staggered or aligned at one location for both directions. Here is an example of a typical data generated by the AIRLOOP:

• United States’ Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Vehicle Classification Scheme: This classification scheme groups vehicles into 13 categories based on their functional and physical characteristics. It considers factors such as number of axles, vehicle use, and design features. It helps in understanding traffic patterns, assessing the impact of vehicles on roadway infrastructure, and guiding pavement design considerations. The FHWA classification scheme consists of 13 vehicle classes:

• • Motorcycles: This category includes all two-wheeled vehicles, such as motorcycles, motor scooters, and mopeds.
  • Passenger Cars: Passenger cars are typical private vehicles designed to carry passengers and have up to nine seating positions, including the driver.
  • Other Two-Axle, Four-Tire Single Unit Vehicles: This class comprises vehicles with two axles and four tires, such as vans, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs).
  • Buses: Buses include vehicles designed to transport people, typically with more than nine seating positions.
  • Two-Axle, Six-Tire Single Unit Trucks: This class covers single-unit trucks with two axles and six tires, commonly used for local delivery and other short-haul operations.
  • Three- to Six-Axle Single Unit Trucks: These trucks have three to six axles and are primarily used for local and regional hauls.
  • Combination Trucks (Single Trailer): Combination trucks consist of a truck tractor pulling a single trailer. This class includes tractor-trailers commonly seen in long-haul freight transportation.
  • Combination Trucks (Double Trailer): This category represents combination trucks with two trailers, often referred to as “double” or “twin” trailers.
  • Combination Trucks (Triple Trailer): These are combination trucks with three trailers, commonly used in specialized freight transportation.
  • Tractor-Semitrailer: Tractor-semitrailer vehicles have a truck tractor pulling a semitrailer.
  • Tractor-Semitrailer with Additional Unit: This class includes tractor-semitrailer combinations with an additional trailer or semitrailer.
  • Single Unit (Unspecified) and Combination Trucks: This category covers trucks that cannot be classified under any specific class due to missing data or incomplete information.
  • Unknown: The “Unknown” class represents vehicles that cannot be classified due to insufficient information or an inability to determine their classification accurately.

• US’s American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Vehicle Classification: AASHTO provides a vehicle classification system that categorizes vehicles into different classes based on their axle configurations and loadings. It assists in assessing the effect of traffic on pavement performance. AASHTO is a nonprofit, nonpartisan association that represents transportation departments in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The AASHTO vehicle classification system consists of the following classes:

• • Class 1: Motorcycles and bicycles fall into this category. It includes all two-wheeled vehicles operated by a single rider.
  • Class 2: This class includes vehicles with two axles and single tires, such as passenger cars, pickup trucks, and vans.
  • Class 3: Vehicles in this class have two axles and dual tires on at least one axle. This category includes larger trucks and recreational vehicles (RVs).
  • Class 4: This class comprises vehicles with three axles, typically including commercial trucks and buses.
  • Class 5: Vehicles with four or more axles are classified in this category. It includes heavy trucks, tractor-trailers, and multi-axle buses.

Within each class, vehicles may further be classified based on specific characteristics, such as the number of tires, axle spacing, and vehicle configuration. This allows for a more detailed analysis of traffic data and its impact on infrastructure.
