• Abstract:
  The objective of this part of the research study was to select and acquire a mobile traffic counter capable of providing traffic flow and average speed data in intervals of time no greater than 15 minutes and transmit the data back to a central location at the termination of each time interval. The counter must be able to operate on at least 95 percent of the locations on public roads in the state of Louisiana, and thus, wireless communication capabilities will be deemed necessary.
