Traffic counts are one of the fundamental data sources for the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). Automatic Traffic Recorders (ATRs) are used to provide continuous traffic count coverage at selected locations to estimate annual average daily traffic (AADT). However, ATR data is often unavailable. This paper investigated the feasibility of using Video Detection System (VDS) technology when ATR data is not available. An Android Tablet-based manual traffic counting application was developed to acquire manual count based ground truth data. The performance of VDS was evaluated under various conditions including mounting styles, heights, and roadway offsets. The results indicated that VDS data presents reasonably accurate data, although the data exhibits more variability compared to ATR data.
