Abstract:

This study was undertaken for the purpose of developing intersection data collection methods and approaches which reflect the current needs of engineers and the state-of-the-art capabilities of available equipment. A literature review summarizes pervious work which is pertinent to intersection studies and data collection. Interviews were conducted with personnel from city, county and state agencies to determine study equipment availability, desried equipment, personnel resources, types of studies that are conducted, and general problems that are related to intersection data collection. A set of study method selection factors were developed. An evaluation focused on investigating the application of photographic and television equipment with studies to deterimine the time required for data reduction when using these approaches to data collection. For the conditions in Arizona, the use of photographic and video equipment represents a feasible alternative to data collection methods which are more labor intensive.
