-There are lots of ways to process the data to generate a model. For example we could take the single highest traffic count (Station Garage West, at 4pm) or the maximum average total flow for a direction.  
  
-Although the traffic queuing up past Station Garage towards the roundabout is an important simulation to do, the principle idea of the simulation is to show the traffic build up through the village as this has the most impact on the village in the form of rubbish, air and noise pollution. So to generate this model, the highest count of vehicles heading east will to be used. Looking at the table above, this would be 06/09/16 - Winfrith Roundabout at 8am. +To generate this model, the Counts taken at Station Garage at 8am have been used.
  
 The following table shows the results that will be used to create the model: The following table shows the results that will be used to create the model:

-The Videos show that without the extra homes, the queue goes back as far at the Central Convenience Stores. Adding the extra vehicles caused by the 1000 homes makes the queue go past the current Purbeck Gate entrance and up towards the Winfrith Roundabout. This distance is about 600m or 0.4 miles.+The Videos show that without the extra homes, the queue goes back as far as Linclieth Road. Adding the vehicles generated by the extra 1000 homes makes the queue go past Bailey's Drove. 
  
-The original "Potential Traffic Impacts of Development in the Wool Area” (Note2) assessment predicted a maximum queue length of 82m (514m-432m, page 17, table 8.1). The simulations above show that the queue length from the extra 1000 homes is closer to 600m.+{{:screenshot_2016-11-29_20-09-07.png?500|}}

 The simulation does not take into account traffic coming from Lulworth into Wool past the Spar Shop. In previous [[woolcrossingtrafficsimulation|simulations]] adding this data shows that the traffic junction by the Station will become congested and a major traffic bottleneck.  The simulation does not take into account traffic coming from Lulworth into Wool past the Spar Shop.
