• Abstract:
  The Transportation-Markings Database project (within the T-M Monograph Series) began in 1997 with the publishing of the initial component, Transportation-Markings Database: Marine. That study was joined by T-M Database: Traffic Control Devices (1998), Railroad Signals (2000), Aero Nav Aids (2001) components. Each component included a double index (T-M forms arranged in categories, and an alphabetical index), and descriptive entries for individual T-M forms. Each component, in turn, was divided into major sub-components (e.g. Fixed Lights, Buoys, Radio Aids). This study, Part Iv, is a review and revision of the category indexes (which can also be viewed as a form of classification). It examines and more substantially incorporates modal classifications into the Database indexes. The study thereby creates an integrated core for the entire T-M project--and not only the Database--by listing all T-M forms. The end result is a consolidated categories classification.
