Tulsa MPO fills annual average daily traffic data gaps
Read success storyINCOG needed AADT traffic counts to feed into their publicly-available web map, which is used by developers, business owners, county officials, city planning departments, and others. Due to the high cost, many regions stopped collecting traffic counts, creating gaps in data INCOG could provide to its constituents.
INCOG entered 2,500+ zones into StreetLight Insight® and was able to get the AADT counts for those specific areas in minutes. StreetLight’s AADT metrics provided accurate and thorough traffic volume data for missing jurisdictions. The MPO then uploaded the counts to their web map, providing access to all stakeholders.

Discover everything about StreetLight’s Traffic Volumes product features, benefits, and more.
Traffic volume data measures the number of vehicles in a given location (such as a specific road segment or zone) over a given time frame (anywhere from 15 minutes to a whole year). While vehicle volumes are the most commonly used traffic volume metric, volumes can also be measured for bike and pedestrian activity. Vehicle volumes may also be segmented out by vehicle weight (light-, medium-, and heavy-duty) to help capture differences in personal vehicle activity vs. truck activity.
Traffic volume data provided by StreetLight is collected from connected vehicles and the Internet of Things, rigorously anonymized and validated, and processed by our proprietary Route Science® algorithm to transform trillions of data points into the traffic volume metrics transportation professionals use every day, such as AADT and Monthly Average Daily Traffic (MADT).
Unlike traditional data collection methods like roadway sensors, manual counts, and surveys, this big data approach can deliver volume metrics for any road and any time period without the limitations of traditional methods like costly sensor installs, small sample sizes, human bias, or putting agency staff at risk.
The accuracy of StreetLight’s data may vary depending on the size (i.e., number of lanes) and type (e.g., urban arterials vs. rural or residential roads) of roadway being studied. However, validation results show a strong correlation between StreetLight traffic volume metrics and traditional roadway counter data. You can learn more about the accuracy of our most recent AADT metrics in our white paper.
StreetLight provides data for all road types, including high-volume highways and low-volume rural roads in the U.S. and Canada.
Within the StreetLight InSight® platform, you can easily access both historical and recent AADT data to analyze year-over-year trends. Every summer, we release AADT counts for the previous year.
Additionally, certain StreetLight solutions, such as safety and transportation modeling, offer more up-to-date traffic volume information, sometimes as recent as the last month. A StreetLight rep can help you determine what data periods are currently available to help accomplish your specific goals.
