Hello Engineers,

Recently I was conducting traffic counts using tubes (MetroCount). However, one of the two tubes (which were placed 1 meter apart) were cut. Therefore, the traffic data is now not correct. Theoretically, I was thinking that one tube could be enough (not so accurate) for getting the Class, Volume and Speed. Is there any way I can still extract the data or make a correction for it using the software MTExec?

Thank you.

I don't think you'll be able to get speed without two tubes, and without speed, it can't calculate wheelbase for class. You might be able to extract volume. Your best bet is to repeat the count.

My glass has a v/c ratio of 0.5
