Traffic counts and their projection plays an essential role in the development of Infrastructure. It typically varies across timelines and seasons. Seasonal Correction/Adjustment Factors are used to remove the seasonal bias by converting the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) into Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT). Seasonal Correction Factor (SCF) plays an essential role in base year traffic analysis. Also, its accuracy influences long-term projections and decisions thereon. Such seasonal variations, we address through our principles. Some concepts are given in theory, some of them are direct, and some are indirect. Appreciating traffic analysis accuracy, it is intended to work out the SCF-seasonal correction factor with different methods. The comparative analysis is thought out to give specific known as well unknown dimensions. The study area will be considered Gujarat for analysis. However, concepts and literature study practices will be dug out from all possible resources. The way SCF's are being worked out will be gathered, and inferences will be drawn through comparative analysis. It is set to provide a way-forward direction for the right kind of applications. Keyphrases: Annual Average Daily Traffic, Fuel Sales, Seasonal Correction Factor, Toll able traffic at toll plaza, automatic traffic counter and classifier
