• Abstract:
  The Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) is a national, highway information system that requires states ; to collect and submit data on the extent, condition, performance, use, and operating characteristics of the nation's ; highways. HPMS requirements include limited data on all public roads, with more detailed data for sample sections ; of the arterial and collector functional classes. One of the field inventory reviews that many states have a difficult ; time reporting efficiently is the required horizontal curve classification for each HPMS section. Connecticut has ; more than 2000 HPMS sites making manual updates to these sections very difficult and time consuming. Automated ; methods to create a batch reporting process could save significant time and effort while increasing the accuracy with ; which data are reported to FHWA. Connecticut is fortunate in that the department of transportation performs an ; annual photolog survey of all states roads and conducts supplemental data collection runs for HPMS sections. This ; report details the creation of an automated curve classification software kit to generate grade and horizontal curve ; classification files for HPMS reporting.
