• Abstract:
  The results of the project to collect freeway traffic data for use in developing and verifying incident detection algorithms are presented in three volumes. This volume gives a description of the first 200 data sets collected from a 42-mile freeway loop that had magnetic detectors at approximately one-half mile intervals. Included are a description of the freeway system used, classification of the data sets, description of 200 data sets, an overview of an analysis program that will process the data sets, weather conditions and a description of the incident. Other volumes in this report include: Vol. 2, RD-76-176, Traffic Data Sets from Closely Spaced Detectors; and, Vol. 3, RD-76-177, FORTRAN Program Documentation for Analyzing Individual Data Sets.
