Congestion
Calculation Method
TxDOT created the car-space method to calculate the space between cars in 1-mile increments, factoring:
- Number of lanes
- Annual average daily traffic (AADT)
- Percentage of trucks
- Average car length
The calculated space between cars is categorized to illustrate levels of congestion.
