Overview
DataPoint accepts three types of midblock data files: volume, speed, and class. A separate .prn is required for each data type.
The screen captures below are taken from Notepad ++. DataPoint reads the count information from the header (the first six rows of the file).
Volume .prn
When importing a .prn file, DataPoint only reads the highlighted sections of the header.
Count directions must match the approach directions in DataPoint. One-way and bidirectional counts only - per lane data is not supported.
0 = NB
1 = EB
2 = SB
3 = WB
Speed or Class .prn
When importing a .prn file, DataPoint only reads the highlighted sections of the header. DataPoint does not currently support dynamic bin headers for speed and class reports, so all speed and class data should be imported using the following schemes:
Speed: 0-15, 16-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, 41-45, 46-50, 51-55, 56-60, 61-65, 66-70, 71-75, 76-80
Class: FHWA 13-bin
Count directions must match the approach directions in DataPoint. One-way and bidirectional counts only - per lane data is not supported.
0 = NB
1 = EB
2 = SB
3 = WB
