NCDOT STIP H193591 Traffic Forecast

Insight led the development of project-level traffic forecasts for H193591 / R-5900 to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Planning Division (TPD) office. The project proposes a two-lane new location roadway from NC 210 to JH Batts Road and the construction of a quadrant system to improve the NC 50 and NC 210 intersection in Pender County. 

Insight reviewed the collected data and AADT conversion; provided guidance for the base year no-build estimate; conducted the TransCAD model review; reviewed and provided guidance for the future year no-build and build forecast; addressed comments; and led the delivery of the completed traffic forecast report. Unique aspect of the project is the significant variations in summer vs. non-summer months and weekday vs. weekend traffic variations and accounting for these variations in the forecasts.
