THE PREPARATION OF A NORTHERN ONTARIO PASSENGER AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ORIGIN-DESTINATION SURVEY

OCTOBER 30, 2013 1

1. Introduction The Growth Plan for Northern Ontario directs the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to develop a Northern Ontario Multimodal Transportation Strategy. This strategy will chart a long-term course for future planning, policy, programs, and infrastructure investment opportunities. An important starting point to developing a sound strategy is having an accurate and comprehensive understanding of travel patterns and characteristics in the region. Origin-destination travel surveys provide a rich source of such travel information.

MTO has retained IBI Group to conduct origin-surveys at a number of sites throughout Northern Ontario on the provincial highway network and at international border crossings. The survey program consists of three components:

a commercial vehicle survey;

a passenger vehicle survey; and

traffic classification counts.

This report describes the traffic classification counts related to the passenger vehicle survey portion of the study only, and includes the following:

description of field traffic count collection, including equipment selection and count scheduling;

description of the process of standardization of raw count data from various original vehicle classification systems into broader vehicle categories for analysis purposes, and development of weekly traffic profiles; and

summaries of final traffic count results.

Other aspects of the survey are documented separately, including survey design and conduct, data processing, and travel profile reports.

The passenger vehicle surveys were conducted during late summer/early fall 2011 and in summer 2012 at 11 locations:

4 international border crossings, where driver-intercept surveys were conducted; and

7 provincial highway locations where licence-plate recording/mail-back surveys were conducted.

A total of 13 sets of bi-directional traffic classification counts were conducted, as 2 of the sites were surveyed in both 2011 and 2012. These survey locations are shown in Exhibit 1.1. Traffic counts at each site were scheduled to coincide with passenger vehicle survey periods to the extent possible.

IBI Group engaged Traffic Survey Analysis (TSA) to perform vehicle counts and classifications at each survey site with analysis of counts and classifications, and expansion of data conducted by IBI Group. The goal for the traffic data collection was to carry out two weeks of vehicle classification counts aggregated to half-hour intervals at each survey site to provide a basis for developing a one-week profile of typical travel conditions. Counts were conducted at each site using Automatic Traffic Recorders (ATRs) appropriate to site conditions and validated by 5 hours of video footage and 3 hours of manual classification counts within the ATR data collection period.

A key aspect of the analysis of the traffic count data for this study was to develop a customized methodology to account for large passenger vehicles automobiles/pick-up trucks with trailers, and recreational vehicles, which are especially prevalent in Northern Ontario compared to Southern Ontario, at about 7 % of total passenger vehicles. Any automatic traffic count technology tends to have difficulty correctly classifying such vehicles, as they appear very similar to straight trucks or small commercial trucks with trailers, but are used for very different purposes. The state-of-practice in analysis of traffic classification count data typically does not include any particular accounting of these types of passenger vehicles, and typically they remain in large part mixed in with commercial vehicles in the final datasets. Development of this customized methodology, explained in Chapter 3, helps ensure that the resulting count data are reliable for analysis of traffic and travel in Northern Ontario.

2. Field Traffic Count Collection This section describes the count equipment used for the collection of raw traffic classification count data in the field, and summarizes the dates of raw traffic classification count data collection at each site.

A summary of the count technology, count location coordinates, and the dates and the duration of usable traffic count data at each passenger vehicle survey station is provided in Exhibit 2.1. A detailed traffic count inventory, showing the dates and duration of automatic, manual, and video counts per day is included in Appendix A.

Two types of Automatic Traffic Recording (ATR) equipment were used for traffic classification counts at passenger-vehicle survey stations, as follows:

Permanent loop detectors: Induction loop detector hardware is permanently installed in the road pavement surface at numerous locations throughout the provincial road network. Where the loops are suitably located in relation to the survey sites, and the loop hardware is in good maintenance and is functional, recording equipment can be plugged into the loops to collect length-based vehicle classification data. This method for collecting classification count data was used where possible, especially for high-speed roadway locations.

Pneumatic tube counters: TSA has had very good experience with tube pneumatic road tube counters, when configured and installed correctly, with two tubes dedicated to each lane of traffic. Tube counters are able to provide vehicle classification that takes into account the number and spacing of vehicle axles and can classify into the standard FHWA thirteen-category system. Tube counters cannot be used on high-speed roadways (90 km or greater), as the tube equipment cannot withstand the wear and tear. They can also be damaged by heavy construction equipment and snowploughs. Where loop detectors hardware was not available or not well situated relative to the survey site, pneumatic tubes were used for counts, where feasible.

A third type of ATR equipment, Nu-Metric counters, were also considered but were not used for traffic classification counts for passenger vehicle survey stations. Nu-Metric counters provide length-based classification similar to permanent loop detectors, but have the disadvantages of safety (because they have a raised profile, they can be dangerous for motorcyclists), low durability (given the high cost of the equipment, this can make their use quite costly), and the need for more elaborate and costly traffic control to install, monitor, and remove the equipment safely on high-speed roadways.

Diamond Unicorn classifiers were used to collect and classify the signals from ATRS, connected directly to both loop detectors and tube counters.

At sites where pneumatic tube counters were used, a straight, flat section of roadway in the vicinity of the survey was first identified for optimum performance of the tube counter, and also for the safety of the crew during installation and removal of the counter. Hilly locations were avoided to prevent the tubes from rolling or being pulled as vehicles passed over them. Immediately prior to installation, the tubes were checked for general condition and to ensure they were free of debris. End plugs were inserted into the end not plugged into the traffic recorder. The tubes were then laid across the roadway and the tubes were nailed to the pavement.

An example showing tube counters as typically installed in the field, is shown in Exhibit 2.2, from Station 1, Highway 17 near the Ontario-Manitoba border.

Exhibit 2.2: Pneumatic Tubes and Recording Equipment Installed in the Field

Traffic counts were generally conducted during the same periods as the corresponding passenger vehicle surveys: between mid-September and early October for 2011 surveys, and between early July and early August for 2012 surveys. To represent typical weekly patterns, surveys and counts were not conducted during holiday periods (Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Canada Day, August Civic holiday weekends, etc.).

The goal for traffic data collection was to collect a full two weeks of traffic counts at each location, although a minimum of 7 days of counts can provide sufficient data for the development of a reliable weekly traffic count profile. At most sites a full 14 days of raw traffic classification count data were collected. Fewer days of data collection resulted when there was damage to the count equipment or due to counter battery issues.

3. Classification Count Categorization and Validation

The raw vehicle classification data have differing native classification systems, as shown in Exhibit 3.1. To standardize and analyse the classification count data, the raw data were categorized into the following broader groupings:

Passenger Vehicles (PV): this includes autos and light-duty vehicles including those with trailers, motorcycles and recreational vehicles;

Buses: these are kept separate from other passenger vehicles in analysis;

Single-Unit Trucks (SU); and

Multi-Unit Trucks (MU) (straight trucks with trailers or transport truck combinations).

The process of categorizing the raw classification count data involved developing a good understanding of how large passenger vehicles in the traffic mix were picked up by the count equipment. This was made possible through the manual count data that were taken concurrently with 3 hours of the ATR data.

After categorizing the counts into standard groupings that account for the large passenger vehicles, the validation and standardization process also included the following steps:

The two-week counts were plotted to identify and exclude anomalous data, e.g. unusually low volumes that may be due to temporary traffic incidents;

Other site-specific adjustments were made to the data as needed; and

Only representative count data were carried forward to develop a one-week profile of traffic data.

counts, but due to overlaps in the types of vehicles within the sub-bins, the smaller bins were re-combined as a single Bin 2.

3.1 Standardization/Categorization of Vehicle Classification Data

Only manual classification of vehicles can reliably identify large passenger vehicles in the traffic mix, as ATR counts tend to identify these as trucks, i.e. for commercial purposes, which have very different travel patterns from passenger vehicles. Analysis of the manual classification counts conducted during a portion of the ATR classification counts was key to developing the method of categorizing the raw ATR data into broader groupings of passenger vehicle, bus, single-unit truck, and multi-unit truck. The process used for grouping the detailed original vehicle classification systems to the standardized analysis categories is described in the subsections below.

A summary of the 3-hour manual classification counts is included as Exhibit 3.2, and includes the ratios of large passenger vehicles – RVs and automobiles/pick-ups – to straight automobiles/pick-ups without trailers; these ratios are used in categorizing length-based classification data, described below. More detailed manual/video/ATR comparisons are included in Appendix B, including counts by half-hour interval.

Manual and video counts were conducted at all sites with the exception of the Sault Ste. Marie border due to security concerns of the Canadian Border Services Agency. At each survey station, three hours of manual classification

IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT: PASSENGER VEHICLE SURVEY: TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY

OCTOBER 30, 2013 9

counts were conducted on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, and where possible during the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Five hours of continuous video was also recorded, including the 3 hours of manual counts.

ATR counts for the 3-hour period corresponding to the manual counts are summarized and compared to the manual classification count totals in Exhibit 3.3, separately for loop count and tube count stations.

Categorization of Loop Data (Length-Based Vehicle Classification) In the loop classification data, large passenger vehicles tend to be classified together with straight trucks in Length Bin 2 (6.5 to 12.49 m). Proportions of large passenger vehicles vs. commercial vehicles in Bin 2 vary by location, by time of day and day of week.

One method to separate the large passenger vehicles in Bin 2 from commercial vehicles is to assume them to be a constant proportion of Bin 2. However, this overestimates truck volumes on weekends, when there are more passenger vehicles relative to fewer commercial vehicles. Therefore, rather than assuming constant proportions of passenger vehicles vs. commercial vehicles in Bin 2, volumes of large passenger vehicles are assumed to be proportional to volumes of automobiles and light-duty vehicles (small passenger vehicles) in Bin 1.

The method developed to categorize length-based traffic volumes so that the larger passenger vehicles are accounted for is as follows:

Estimate large passenger vehicle and bus volumes based on Bin 1 volumes, even though these vehicles are actually in length Bin 2, using the ratios shown in Exhibit 3.2. Rather than using the precise proportion of larger passenger vehicles to straight autos for every site, which implies a false level of precision given the random variation in the relatively small sample size, general proportions indicative of a number of sites are used:

Cars with trailers and RVs as a proportion of straight auto volumes: 4%, 6.6% or 9%, with lower proportions closer to urban areas and higher proportions in more remote areas; and

Buses as a proportion of straight autos: 0 to 1% per site, based on observed buses in the manual counts.

Single-unit trucks are represented by Bin 2, subtracting the estimate of cars with trailers and RVs from the total.

Multi-unit trucks are represented by the sum of Bins 3, 4 and 5, subtracting the estimate of buses from the total.

THE PREPARATION OF A NORTHERN ONTARIO PASSENGER AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ORIGIN-DESTINATION SURVEY

OCTOBER 30, 2013 13

Categorization of Tube Data (Axle-Based Vehicle Classification) Tube count classification is based on the number and spacing of axles, and therefore can identify at least a portion of the automobiles/pick-ups with trailers and include them in Class 2 or 3 (automobile or light truck with or without trailer). (See full list of axle-based vehicle classes in Exhibit 3.1.) However, at least a portion of large passenger vehicles tend to be classified with trucks in the tube counts.

Two axle-based classifications tend to contain more than one vehicle category, and are dealt with as follows:

Class 8 (three-or four-axle single-trailer trucks); Class 8 tends to contain true multi-unit trucks, as well single-unit trucks with similar axle spacing, plus automobiles with trailers. Class 8 vehicles are the least common truck types among single-unit trucks and multi-unit trucks. The volume of vehicles classified as Class 8 representing more than one-third the total volume of Class 5, 6, and 7 vehicles (other single-unit trucks) plus one-third the total volume of Class 9 and 10 vehicles, (other multi-unit single-trailer trucks), are assumed to be large passenger vehicles.

Class 13 (seven or more axle multi-trailer vehicles): Large multi-trailer vehicles are not very common among multi-unit trucks. The volume of Class 13 vehicles more than 12% relative to the total volume of Classes 11 and 12 vehicles (other multi-unit multi-trailer trucks) is taken to be misclassified automobiles spaced closely together, and multiplied by 3 to estimate total automobiles.

The categorization of axle-based vehicle classes can be represented as follows:

Passenger Vehicles (PV) = Class 1 + Class 2 + Class 3 + remainder of Class 8 after allocation to trucks + remainder of Class 13 after allocation to trucks x 3 (i.e. misclassification of closely-spaced cars)

Bus = Class 4

Single-Unit Trucks (SU) = Class 5 + Class 6 + Class 7 + up to 33% additional trucks from Class 8

Multi-Unit Trucks (MU) (one-trailer) = Class 9 + Class 10 + up to 33% additional trucks from Class 8

Multi-Unit Trucks (MU) (multi-trailer) = Class 11 + Class 12 + up to 12% additional trucks from Class 13

The methods for raw data from the original vehicle classifications into broader vehicle classification groupings are summarized in Exhibit 3.4.

After mapping/grouping of ATR vehicle classifications to broader standardized vehicle groupings as described above, the results compare well to manual count

3.2 Visual Inspection of Traffic Count Data

For each survey station and direction, plots of hourly traffic volumes for the count duration were prepared by vehicle class: passenger vehicle, single-unit truck, and multi-unit truck, and total vehicles. These plots are included as Appendix C.

The plots allow a visual check of the data to ensure that daily volume patterns were realistic - e.g. weekday morning commuting peaks in one direction balanced by afternoon commuting peaks in the opposite direction. The plots also allow anomalies in the data to be identified, e.g. to traffic incidents or count equipment malfunction or irregularities. Anomalies were flagged and excluded from developing the average weekly profiles so that the weekly profiles would be based on typical conditions only.

Classification count data at certain locations required adjustments so that the data would more accurately reflect conditions at the count location. These adjustments are described in Appendix D, and include the following locations:

Sault Ste. Marie border counts;

Station 2: Highway 69 north of Parry Sound; and

Station 3: Highway 11 south of North Bay, northbound.

Adjusting available ATR data for these stations avoided having to use other, more costly methods of obtaining count data at the site, but requires very careful analysis, judgement and understanding of traffic patterns. It is recommended for future counts that where ATR equipment cannot be installed directly at the site, alternative count methods be strongly considered in spite of their increased cost to avoid these types of adjustments.

3.3 Development of Average Weekly Traffic Profile

All available data that seem to represent typical traffic conditions were carried forward toward developing weekly traffic profile of using the average of each day-of-week and half-hour of the day. The formula used to obtain the average traffic profile by vehicle category can be represented as follows:

where:

i: Day of the week “i” (1 to 7) j: Half-hour of day “j” (0 to 23)

Vij: Volume for vehicle category in day i in half-hour j Nij: Number of records for day i in half-hour j.

A few observations from the summary tables are noted:

Among the Northern Ontario border crossings, traffic at the Sault Ste. Marie border represent 54% of total passenger vehicle crossings and 45% of total truck crossings. The Sault Ste. Marie border has the highest volume of trucks but lowest proportion of trucks among the crossings;

The highest-volume site among the provincial highway survey stations is Station 6, Highway 17 west of Sudbury, with 12,300 daily average vehicles in the summer. Next highest is Station 3, Highway 11 south of North Bay, at almost 10,000 vehicles daily in early fall and 11,300 vehicles daily in the peak summer recreation/tourism season;

At the provincial highway sites, there are generally 10 to 30% more trucks in the northbound/westbound directions compared to southbound/eastbound; and

IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT: PASSENGER VEHICLE SURVEY: TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY

THE PREPARATION OF A NORTHERN ONTARIO PASSENGER AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ORIGIN-DESTINATION SURVEY

OCTOBER 30, 2013 17

The provincial highway sites have 14 to 27% truck traffic weekly. The highest proportions of truck traffic are at Station 3, Highway 17 at the Ontario-Manitoba border, and at Highway 11 and 17 west of Nipigon, where passenger vehicles volumes are lower than at other survey stations, but truck volumes are in the order 5,000 daily trucks.

4.1 Seasonal Trends

At three of the survey locations, traffic counts were conducted in both early fall and in summer:

Sault Ste. Marie border;

Station 2: Highway 11 south of North Bay; and

Station 5: Highway 11 and 17 west of Nipigon (with fall counts available from the commercial vehicle survey).

Differences in seasonal traffic profiles can be observed at these locations in Exhibit 4.4, which summarizes average daily weekday traffic and average daily weekend traffic at these sites. These results show fall passenger vehicle traffic levels at 85 to 95% of summer volumes by direction, and truck traffic being slightly higher in the fall than in the summer.

Geographic and historical trends for the Northern Ontario international border crossings and locations along the provincial highway corridors are included in Commercial Vehicle Survey: Traffic and Vehicle Classification Summary.

IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT: PASSENGER VEHICLE SURVEY: TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY

THE PREPARATION OF A NORTHERN ONTARIO PASSENGER AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ORIGIN-DESTINATION SURVEY

OCTOBER 30, 2013 21

5. Summary and Conclusions Traffic classification counts were conducted in Northern Ontario at 4 border locations and 7 provincial highway locations in both directions of travel as part of the Northern Ontario passenger vehicle origin-destination travel survey. This report discussed the field data collection, standardization and validation of the traffic classification counts, and presents summaries of the final traffic volumes.

The traffic classification counts were conducted using automatic traffic recorders (ATRs) of two types: permanent loop detectors and pneumatic tube counters. The goal for traffic count data collection was to obtain two weeks of raw count data, and was achieved in most cases. At all locations, sufficient data were collected to obtain a reliable representative weekly profile of traffic conditions.

The data were carefully reviewed to ensure that only data representing typical traffic conditions for each survey station were carried forward into developing a one-week traffic classification count profile. The data from some locations required adjustments to better represent typical traffic conditions at the survey station.

Three-hour manual counts were conducted concurrent with a portion of the ATR classification counts. These manual counts provide very valuable information about the mix of large passenger vehicles (RVs and automobiles/light trucks with trailers) in the traffic mix, vehicles that any type of ATR equipment has difficulty distinguishing from commercial vehicles. The proportion of such vehicles is especially high in Northern Ontario roads. Comparison between manual count data and corresponding ATR count data were used to inform the process of categorizing original vehicle classifications into standard groupings for analysis and appropriately accounting for the larger passenger vehicles in the traffic mix. This presents a very significant improvement over the state of practice of analysis of traffic count data.

At certain stations, traffic counts by ATR were not feasible using induction loops or pneumatic tubes (e.g. Station 3, Highway 11 south of North Bay). For these locations, ATR count data available from nearby count locations were carefully factored or otherwise adjusted to better reflect conditions at the actual survey site. This avoided having to use other, more costly methods of obtaining count data at the site, but requires very careful analysis, judgement and understanding of traffic patterns. It is recommended that where count data directly at the site are not directly available, alternative count methods be considered.

The traffic and vehicle classification data summarized in this report provide a sound basis for Northern Ontario passenger-vehicle survey data expansion. The weekly count profiles provide significant insight into traffic characteristics at each of the survey locations.

IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT: PASSENGER VEHICLE SURVEY: TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY

THE PREPARATION OF A NORTHERN ONTARIO PASSENGER AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ORIGIN-DESTINATION SURVEY

OCTOBER 30, 2013

D.1

Traffic Count Adjustments

Three locations required count adjustments to make the ATR counts more indicative of traffic conditions at the survey stations. These adjustments are described below.

Sault Ste. Marie Border

Traffic classification counts at the Sault Ste. Marie border involved the following challenges:

The counts were conducted with pneumatic tubes installed on the bridge, closer to the Canadian border inspection than to the US border inspection. As such, queues from traffic traveling to Canada backing up from Canadian inspection would result in slower-moving, closely spaced traffic that could be misclassified as commercial vehicles;

Construction taking place on the US side of the border crossing resulted in heavy construction trucks damaging count equipment; count equipment were replaced twice during the count period; and

Video and manual counts were not allowed due to security concerns on the part of CBSA staff. However, for validation and adjustment of the counts, detailed volume data were provided by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDoT).

The MDoT data for 2011 and 2012 count validation and adjustment includes the following:

total daily vehicle counts by toll class, not broken down by direction;

hourly total commercial vehicle volumes by direction; and

hourly passenger vehicle volumes by direction, although 2011 counts included only cash-toll users and not pass-card users.

The raw ATR counts at Sault Ste. Marie have some classification issues (e.g. excessive motorcycles in one direction for fall 2011 counts), but using the MDoT toll data hourly totals to adjust the counts results in a traffic classification profile that can be reliably used for survey data expansion.

Station 2: Highway 69 North of Parry Sound

For Station 2, the closest available induction loops for traffic counts were located south of the survey station, with Highway 559 (the route to Killbear Provincial Park) located between the survey station and count location. A comparison of 2008 AADT values for the survey and count locations showed that the survey station had 78% of the AADT values of the count location. However, it would not be appropriate to reduce the volumes of vehicle types to 78%; Vehicle types were reduced differentially based on comparison with volumes further north at Station 2A, where it was found that multi-unit truck volumes were very similar to those at the count location for Station 2, while single-unit trucks represented about two-thirds of the volume. The following ratios were therefore applied to

D.2

adjust Station 2 count volumes to better represent traffic conditions at the survey station, and to result in overall survey station volumes of 78% compared to the count location:

Multi-unit truck volumes: 1.0

Single-unit truck volumes: 0.70

Passenger-vehicle volumes: 0.75

Station 3: Highway 11 South of North Bay

At Station 3 on Highway 11 south of North Bay, the 2011 survey site was originally planned to be in the vicinity of Sundridge. However, construction of an additional lane had been proceeding northerly from Sundridge throughout the summer. To avoid construction and to conduct the surveys at a location with suitable sight lines, the survey location was moved to north of the town of Powassan and much closer to North Bay. The 2011 traffic counts were conducted close to the original survey location, as they had been set up before the survey location was finalized, and because of non-functioning loops closer to the survey site.

For 2012 surveys at the survey station, the southbound counts were conducted in the vicinity of the survey station, but the northbound loops were not functioning; counts at the northbound survey station were conducted at the closest functioning northbound loops, some 10 km to the north and in close proximity to North Bay. The northbound counts were adjusted to better represent conditions at the survey site as follows:

Multi-unit trucks: these were not altered, as a high proportion of multi-unit trucks represent long-distance trips whose volumes and travel patterns would not change between survey and count locations;

Single-unit trucks: these were factored down to match southbound single-unit truck totals; and

Passenger-vehicle volumes: Monday-Thursday northbound passenger vehicles were factored down to match southbound Monday-Thursday passenger vehicle totals; Friday-Sunday passenger vehicles were factored down separately to match Friday-Sunday southbound passenger vehicle totals.

Fall counts were repeated in 2012 to have more representative fall counts in the vicinity of the actual survey station. By fall, the northbound loops were still not working. Southbound counts were conducted at the survey station. These southbound counts were found to be have a very similar weekly profile to counts undertaken at the same location for the 2006 provincial Commercial Vehicle Survey (CVS) Wasi station, conducted in April 2007. The northbound counts were therefore synthesized using the April 2007 northbound Wasi CVS counts as a basis for passenger vehicles, and summer 2012 counts as a basis for truck volumes; factored as follows:

Passenger vehicles: using 2007 Wasi CVS counts as a basis, Monday-Thursday northbound passenger vehicles were factored

up 2.2% to match southbound Monday-Thursday passenger vehicle totals; Friday-Sunday passenger vehicles were factored up 7.3% to match Friday-Sunday southbound passenger vehicle totals.

Single-unit trucks: summer 2012 northbound single-unit truck counts were factored to match fall southbound single-unit truck totals weekly; and

Multi-unit trucks: summer 2012 northbound multi-unit truck counts were factored up, reflecting the ratio of fall to summer multi-unit trucks in the southbound direction.
