From page 85... ... 85appendix a Browne and Goodchild Because of this, many regions in the United States find that national data sources must be either disaggregated or complemented with local data collection efforts, including vehicle counts at specific locations. This disaggregation is often accomplished using demographic or economic data such as employment or economic activity. Read the entire page →
