Computational method for the weighted average AADT[edit]

To figure the 5,188-vehicle number quoted in the article, I did the following:

Exported the 2010 edition of the Annual Average Daily Traffic Report‎ for US 2 as an Excel worksheet
Using the BMP and EMP (beginning and ending mileposts), I added a column that calculated each segment length.
I then added a column that multiplied the segment lengths by the segments' AADT values, giving a weighted AADT value for each segment.
I summed the segment lengths and the weighted AADT values.
The total weighted AADT value was then divided by the total length, producing the weighted AADT value used as the overall average reported in the article.

The spreadsheet is available upon request. Imzadi 1979 → 23:47, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
