        <procdesc>After Datamart extraction the following procedures were conducted: Associated growth factors from an HPMS table of growth factors by County, Functional Class, and Rural/Urban classification with each row of traffic data. Associated Design Hour factors from the 2006 Peak Hour Report table of Design Hour factors by AADT group with each row of traffic data. Applied formulas to each row of traffic data in the Datamart extraction to calculate the 20 year forecasted: Design Hour Volume (DHT), Peak Direction Design Hour Volume (DDHV), and Other Direction DHV. Updated the dataset to include the calculated forecasted: EST20YRDHV, PEAKDIRDESIGNHRVOLDDHV, and OTHERDIRDESIGNHRVOL values.</procdesc>

The data is appropriate for project scoping purposes.  It is also appropriate, when combined with the opposite direction, for (a) analyzing collision rates on stretches of roadway that are at minimum several miles in length and (b) design projects that do not include turning movement analyses.</attrdef>
