Section 11: Border Trend Traffic Data

Anchor: #i1105326

Overview

TPP collects and reports traffic data by vehicle type for the planning and maintenance of the highway system in areas affected by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This data collection effort was initiated in 1993 and is anticipated to continue indefinitely.

Anchor: #i1105337

Border Trend Traffic Data Collection

Twenty-five sites (see Table 1-9) selected by TxDOT district offices are continuously monitored. Volume and vehicle classification data are collected in hourly increments. Traffic data are collected via telemetry from AVC equipment that categorizes the data into the 14 different vehicle types (see Table 1-3) using automated equipment. The data are used to measure growth in traffic related to NAFTA.

Border Trend Traffic Data Reporting

TPP compiles and publishes results annually. Data published include monthly average truck traffic, monthly station trend summaries for several years, monthly average number of vehicles, annual summaries of stations and directions for several years, and detailed vehicle classification and directional flow data by station.
