Monitoring traffic through extensive collection and efficient storage of traffic data is crucial for improving safety and efficiency of Florida highways. To this end, the Florida Department of Transportation’s Office of Transportation Data and Analytics operates temporary and permanent count stations strategically placed at various locations on the State Highway System. Consequently, the Office is faced with the continuing challenge of maintenance, sustainability, modernization of processes and equipment, and assurance of the quality of data collected from these sites. This project was aimed at providing civil engineering support for the operation of the traffic monitoring sites by undertaking four major tasks: (1) evaluation of products in the data collection chain; (2) evaluation of the quality of data; (3) evaluation of vehicle classification; and (4) evaluation of bike-ped detection systems. The report is divided into four chapters detailing the task undertaken, the results obtained, and the recommendations made. A number of recommendations have either been implemented or are under consideration for deployment with the purpose of improving the performance of the traffic monitoring sites.
In a series of four tasks, Florida State University researchers examined the systems and procedures used for acquiring vehicle and pedestrian data on ...
