Chapter 11 — Roundabout Movement Studies
How to do a Roundabout Movement Study
When you are ready to begin a Roundabout Movement study, select Count
from the Main Menu, then select New and then select RA.
You are then prompted to select a site code type and assign a site code.
Refer to chapter 2 for information on selecting a site code.
Interval
Once you have programmed a site code for the study, you are prompted
to choose the interval length that will be used.
You are given the choice of 1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minute intervals. An In-
terval is the amount of time the TDC Ultra collects data before it stores
the accumulated totals in memory. You are barely aware of intervals
changing when you do a study with the TDC Ultra (it beeps at the end
of each interval to let you know it may be time to go home). The TDC
Ultra automatically keeps track of the time and stores the data at the
end of the interval. You only have to concentrate on collecting the data.
This is one of the major features of the TDC Ultra.
The default value is 15 minutes, as this is the most common interval
length used for Roundabout Movement studies. We recommend that
you use 15 minutes unless you have special requirements.
Press DO once you have selected the interval length you wish to use.
Start Study
After you have selected an
interval to use, you are ready
to start the study. The display
shows the current count num-
ber and the interval number.
In the example shown, this is the first count done, and it is at the first
interval.
