One of the most important measures used by FDOT planners is Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), which indicates how busy a road is. Planners use this information to help prioritize which facilities should be built or enhanced. AADT usually is estimated by multiplying a short-duration traffic count by a seasonal adjustment factor. Seasonal factors adjust for fluctuations in traffic patterns by time of year (e.g., traffic volume on a roadway near a beach may be higher during the summer months). Seasonal factors are developed using data collected by continuous traffic counters.
