| الوصف: | Road traffic data is important for various applications in transport studies, such as those related to safety, environmental damages, and economic evaluations. Although significant improvement in estimation accuracy has been achieved, less is known about the association of specific factors with road traffic volumes. This paper presents an investigation of the relation of various road, area, and socioeconomic characteristics with annual average daily traffic in England and Wales for four different road classes and five vehicle types. This is achieved by applying least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression on a comprehensive set of land use, socioeconomic, public transport, and roadway variables. The output reveals that specific socioeconomic and roadway characteristics are those that are mainly associated with traffic volumes across all vehicle types and road classes. Moreover, the association of other variables with traffic volume varies, depending on the road class and vehicle type, creating space for future research. The results can support urban planning and inform policies related to transport congestion and environmental impact mitigation. |
