Traffic Volume Counts
NJDOT maintains a traffic monitoring program consisting of continuous and short-term elements. The traffic
counting program is designed to utilize, at a minimum, 48-hour short-term counts to produce estimates of Annual
Average Daily Traffic (AADT). Traffic Counts are taken in all type of public roads statewide at the following
locations:
- 6,000 Short-Term (48-hour) Count sites
- 90 permanent Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system sites and
- 95 Traffic Volume System (TVS) sites
- 50 Major Station Site

Short Duration Counts
To compute AADT, the data collected during the short duration counts "48-hour periods" must be
adjusted to annual conditions. These adjustments include: axle correction (for counts made with single axle
sensors); day-of-week (for counts taken for less than one week); seasonal (to account for changes in volume
that occur from one time of year to another); time-of-day (for counts taken for less than 24 hours).
