TRAFFIC PROJECTION STUDIES Sample Clauses

TRAFFIC PROJECTION STUDIES. Existing and projected traffic volumes are required for baseline and scenario alternative analysis, schematic design; environmental documentation (e.g., noise and air quality analysis); and pavement design. Other associated activities include sub-regional and corridor traffic analysis and evaluation, development of travel demand model inputs, research and validation of supporting data, and traffic data forecast for model. The Engineer shall provide personnel capable of performing the following work: • Meetings/Teleconferences - The Engineer shall participate in working meetings or teleconferences with the TxDOT’s Transportation Planning and Programming Division, MPO, and other pertinent agencies as identified by the State. The first meeting is the kick-off meeting to verify the project schedule, points of contact, study methodology including definition of required analysis scenarios and/or analysis to be conducted, acquisition and application of the MPO’s TDM model, data sources, traffic factors, development of design traffic volumes, and documentation required to address project-specific criteria required by the State. • The Engineer shall prepare meeting minutes documenting decisions made by the State regarding the study design process and proposed methodology. The Engineer shall submit the meeting minutes to the State for approval. . • The project kick-off meeting will be held at a location within the eight-county MPO region as determined by the State. • Methodology Development - The Engineer shall develop a methodology for estimating traffic projections for each component of the project corridor. The State shall review and approve the methodology.

This data will consist of traffic volume counts, corridor or study area historical count year data from permanent count stations, vehicle classification data, and historical truck data. • The Engineer shall collect existing peak-hour traffic data on the project corridor. The existing traffic data includes the following: ▪ Morning (A.M.) and evening (P.M.) peak-hour turning volumes for the main lanes on the project corridor. ▪ A.M. and P.M. peak-hour turning volumes at all signalize intersections as shown on the stick diagram for the project corridor. ▪ A.M. and ...
