Traffic Measurement Errors
Measurement errors are caused by faults in equipment or constraints on equipment design. The following five errors are examples of some types of errors that can occur :
- Post-processing errors – These errors are generated by operators when analysing data that has been measured
- Pre-processing errors – These errors are generated by computers when compiling data for operators
- Statistical errors – These errors are caused by the averages in traffic measurements and by the fact that measurements are made from discrete samples
- Database errors – These errors exist when errors are generated by faults in the storage of information
- Interpretation errors – These errors occur when analysts misinterpret data
