Automatic counting points on motorways and federal roads

On Germany’s motorways and extraneous federal roads, all motor vehicles are permanently counted at automatic counting points. Depending on the type of device used, up to nine vehicle types can be distinguished. The data is collected by Autobahn GmbH of the Federal Government (AdB) as well as the federal states and transmitted to BASt on a monthly basis. On this basis, annual driving performance and average daily traffic strengths (DTV) are calculated. The data form an important basis for transport or construction decisions and measures. The network of counting points on federal highways currently comprises 2,208 counting points. Of these, 1,227 are on federal highways and 881 on federal roads.
