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.
