The Traffic Monitoring System (TMS) Team administers the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) Traffic Monitoring Program. The program collects, processes, analyzes, summarizes, and disseminates Maryland highway traffic data. It is supported by a comprehensive, user friendly, management information computer database system.
This document describes our program, including the sources, methodologies and procedures used to collect, calculate, and validate Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts. It includes the resulting traffic data reports, such as the Traffic Trends Report, Traffic Volume Maps, and Truck Volume Maps.
The most recent roadside safety procedures and guidelines required by MDOT SHA for counting traffic. It includes templates that consultants can use for traffic counting data.
TMS Dashboard is a web-based portal tool that provides data analysis about traffic patterns, volumes, classifications and allows users to make informed decisions about the flow of traffic across the State of Maryland all from a single site. The TMS Dashboard brings together six different applications Volume Trends, Data Extractor, ITMS, AADT Locator, AADT Factors & Email Me.
The Volume Trends visualizes last five years & current year of permanent count data, aggregating by (Hour, Day of Week, Month, Quarter to name a few). Mileage & Travel Summaries is a link to the mileage dashboard which displays the miles and lane miles. AADT Locator can help you locate and obtain detailed hourly traffic data at the various traffic counting sites throughout Maryland. The AADT Seasonal Adjustment factors for functional groups and individual stations are available for display and download as excel. Email Me provides an interface to email yourself or a requestor specific data.
Traffic Monitoring System has launched a new email service called Email Me. Requestors can email
TMSDATA@mdot.maryland.gov with either a location ID, road, corridor or county in the subject line. The service emails back the traffic data for the requested locations. You have an option of appending xls or excel to the subject to get the data in Excel rather than the pdf format.
Enter a full or partial street address to find AADT's for that address by way of the Address Search option. The tool displays AADT & AAWDT (Annual Average Weekday Traffic) for locations within a search distance of that address.
An alternate way to find an AADT is by using the Route Search option wherein the user selects the County, Road Name / Route Number. The AADT locations are plotted in Google Maps and the list is displayed in a results window. The search panels, maps and results are all components of the same window.
The I-TMS provides access to detailed traffic count data. I-TMS has Address Search and Route Search options wherein the user can filter for required locations. The tool displays locations in the results tab. You can select an individual location to view reports by class, volume, and other categories.
This is a graphical representation of AADT numbers displayed at each location on Maryland's road network. Traffic counts are reported as the number of vehicles expected to pass a given location on an average day of the year for all traffic-counting stations in the State.
Truck Volume Maps are graphical representations that depict the average percentages of trucks at various locations on Maryland s roadways by county. Also included at these locations is the current AADT.
Traffic data, including AADT, AAWDT and Truck AADT is available for download from our website as shapefile and Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files in NAD 83 Feet HARN.
