Abstract
A traffic counting distribution is derived in which a minimum spacing or headway between units of traffic is taken into account. A comparison is made between this probability distribution and the Type I Counter distribution derived by W. Feller. Explicit expressions are derived for the mean and variance of count as well as the probability that the interval of interest is completely filled by vehicles.
