Goals of Lesson:
• Demonstrate how to load the ArcMap file used withthe Density Processing Tool.
• Demonstrate how to set up the ArcMap for use withthe Density Processing Tool.

Before proceeding, make sure all extensions are enabled.Go to Customize – Extensions.
![Page 5: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ensure that all the extensions are turned on.(Each extension should have a check mark in the box by its name).
If any extension is turned off, enable itby clicking the box to its left.
![Page 6: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Open the one.mxd in the Phase 13 folder (or the folder in which the Density Processing Tool is Installed.)
![Page 7: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The one.mxd will open.
![Page 8: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Immediately save the one.mxd as a new file with a new name beforemaking any changes to it. This will preserve the one.mxd as a backup.
From this step on, only work from the new file.
![Page 9: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The one.mxd (now saved under the new name) contains a number of layers that can be used with the density processing tool.
The first four layers are reserved for future use with weigh in motion data.
WIM = Reserved for future use.
CCclass = Reserved for future use.
CCvol = Reserved for future use.
Continuous = Reserved for future use.
The next four are currently available for use.
TV9705 = Road network with vehicle counts.
TV905Class = Roads with vehicle counts by class.
TV905vol = Roads with vehicle volume only.
NYS_Counties = The counties of New York State.
![Page 10: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
For density processing alone, only the NYS_Counties layer will be used.
NYS_Counties = The counties of New York State.
![Page 11: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Next, turn on the NYS_Counties layer and make adjustments to it.
Turn off all other layers – they are not needed until it is time to analyze truck traffic.
To adjust the NYS_Counties layer.1. Right click on the layer in the table of contents.
2. Go to Properties.
![Page 12: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Adjust the NYS_Counties layer in the properties window.
To adjust the layer:
1. Go to the Symbology tab.
2. Under Categories, select Unique values, many fields.
3. Set the Value Fields to COUNTY.
4. Select a color ramp that clearly shows each county.
5. Click OK.

The map should now look something like this.
Or this….
As long as the counties are distinct, it doesn’t really matter.
![Page 14: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
However, being able to see the counties is not much good if we don’t
know their names.
![Page 15: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Go back to the properties window for the NYS_Counties layer.
To adjust the NYS_Counties layer.1. Right click on the layer in the table of contents.
2. Go to Properties.
![Page 16: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Label the counties with their individual names.
To label the counties:
1. Go to the Labels Tab.
2. Under Label Field, select COUNTY.
3. Adjust the font size.
4. Click Apply to see the labels, and then OK once they are satisfactory.
![Page 17: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The map should now look something like this.
Each county will be labeled with its name.
![Page 18: Using the Density Processing Tool (Part 1) How to Use the Density Processing Tool A Guide for New Users (Part 1)](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d69f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Now the map is ready for using the Density Processing Tool!
