TRB conducted a webinar on January 29, 2015, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm ET that explored
NCHRP Report 797: Guidebook on Pedestrian and Bicycle Volume Data Collection. Webinar presenters provided an overview of the guidebook's contents and a short summary of the research.
This webinar introduced applications for non-motorized count data, technologies and methods for collecting non-motorized count data, and methods for adjusting raw count data to (a) correct errors inherent to a given counting technology and (b) adjust counts to estimate volumes over different periods of time and/or under different environmental conditions than those counted.
A certificate for two Professional Development Hours (PDHs) will be provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at
