EXPANSION FACTORS 3.0

Expansion Factors model

With Altitude’s Expansion Factors 3.0, you gain comprehensive and reliable traffic volume data from transparent methods. Our improved model is based on the most accurate data available, including commercial vehicle data from over four million vehicles and FHWA’s HPMS AADT data. This supplies you with comprehensive, detailed and reliable traffic data to understand traffic patterns, vehicle types, and volumes accurately, leading to better planning and management. Our updated model addresses the need for reliable data in decision-making, improves operational efficiency, and justifies infrastructure investments with greater accuracy.

Transparent & trustworthy

Tailored for transportation authorities, traffic managers, and infrastructure developers, our sampling methodology and increased ground truth sampling points provide increased coverage and higher confidence in the data. With Altitude, you can rely on understanding real-world road conditions for accurate planning and decision-making. Our transparent methodology shows you how we achieve market-representative numbers, enabling you to trust the insights we provide.

01

Data integrity

Reliability starts from the source, Altitude is the source of commercial vehicle data from over four million vehicles, offering insights into vehicle class, vocation, fuel type, and industry.

02

Enhanced model

Transitioning from TMAS data from 14,000 FHWA directional stations to HPMS AADT data, our new model provides insights for over eight million road segments, including smaller and less trafficked road types.

03

Transparent methodology

Our transparent approach allows customers to see how road segment traffic volumes are calculated, validating that data can be checked, trusted, and relied upon.

FEATURES

Gain insights beyond total volume

Tools for precise, granular traffic volume estimates for the US for 2022, from an enhanced model and transparent methodology to instilling trust in insights.

+

Greater road granularity

Offers significantly more coverage than the previous model, providing detailed insights into Motorways, Primary, Trunk, Secondary, and Tertiary road segments.

+

Segmentable traffic volumes

Classifies vehicle volumes by heavy (class 7, 8), medium (class 3-6), and all commercial and non-commercial vehicles.

+

County & state expansion

By covering both counties and states in the US, the new model provides comprehensive coverage for any analysis, including zones such as State, County, City, TAZ, ZIP, CTR, and custom zones.

RELIABLE ROAD VOLUME DATA

Expand to more effective planning

Essential for understanding traffic volume where sample data alone is insufficient, Expansion Factors enhances insights through greater granularity and improved context. These are critical for any project where high-confidence vehicle estimates are required, such as parking analysis, infrastructure, congestion, and safety projects. These features enable city planners, highway authorities, and developers by providing a greater understanding of roadway segment traffic at different points in time for all vehicle types, including passenger vehicles, for the majority of roadways.
