Traffic Study – Why It Matters, What to Count and How to Measure On-Demand Webinar

Topic Description:

Pavement design and mix selection are two components that factor into a paving project. A traffic study is another one of these components and can be considered the catalyst in starting a new construction or overlay. Location, population, vehicle type, and traffic flow devices can be deemed important to a pavement design and project location selection. During this webinar you will learn more about traffic studies and how they relate to long lasting pavements.

Learning Objectives:

  • What controls are taken during traffic studies
  • How traffic type effects pavement design
  • Why location and population determine project design
  • Types of traffic flow measures
  • How to measure traffic
  • Understanding the traffic report and moving forward

Presenters:

  • Jason Sommerer, P.E., PTOE, Bartlett & West
  • Todd Kempker, P.E., Bartlett & West

PLEASE NOTE:

The ASPHALT CALCULATOR is a quick and easy tool to help you estimate how many tons of asphalt pavement your project will need. Just enter your project’s width (feet), length (feet), and planned nominal compacted thickness (inches), then click “CALCULATE.”

The calculator uses a mix density of 1.950 tons per cubic yard to estimate the total asphalt tonnage required.
