Field 2: Lane

61639272005 2 true 5 4 19.0 25.0 26.0 66.0 63.0 63.0 3.0 1 505

This field is the lane in which the vehicle was observed.

Field 3: Subsample

Field 4: Upstream station

61639272005 2 true 5 4 19.0 25.0 26.0 66.0 63.0 63.0 3.0 1 505

This is the station i.d. of the station where the vehicle was initially identified.

Field 5: Downstream station

61639272005 2 true 5 4 19.0 25.0 26.0 66.0 63.0 63.0 3.0 1 505

This is the station i.d. of the second (or downstration) station used to complete the calculations for the record.

Field 6: Travel time

61639272005 2 true 5 4 19.0 25.0 26.0 66.0 63.0 63.0 3.0 1 505

This field is the time of travel between the two stations, in seconds.

Field 7: Vehicle length (upstream)

61639272005 2 true 5 4 19.0 25.0 26.0 66.0 63.0 63.0 3.0 1 505

This field is the calculated vehicle length, in feet, as measured at the upstream station.

Field 8: Vehicle length (downstream)

61639272005 2 true 5 4 19.0 25.0 26.0 66.0 63.0 63.0 3.0 1 505

This field is the calculated vehicle length, in feet, as measured at the downstream station.

Field 9: Vehicle velocity (upstream)

61639272005 2 true 5 4 19.0 25.0 26.0 66.0 63.0 63.0 3.0 1 505

This is the vehicle velocity as calculated from the dual loop detector measurements at the upstream station.

Field 10: Vehicle velocity (downstream)

61639272005 2 true 5 4 19.0 25.0 26.0 66.0 63.0 63.0 3.0 1 505

This is the vehicle velocity as calculated from the dual loop detector measurements at the downstream station.

Field 11: Vehicle velocity

61639272005 2 true 5 4 19.0 25.0 26.0 66.0 63.0 63.0 3.0 1 505

This is the vehicle velocity as calculated from the distance and travel time between the two stations.

Field 12: Density
