Abstract:In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the need for a mechanism that monitors the performance of our highway system. Such a monitoring system would include the means for obtaining data to assess the highway's capability to provide for the transport of persons and goods and to support the vast expenditure of public funds that are expected to continue to be spent on the Nation's highway transportation system. In 1974, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Associate Administrator for Planning established a task force to investigate the data and mechanisms needed to measure and monitor highway performance. Further investigation was subsequently undertaken when the task force's recommendation to conduct contract research in highway performance monitoring (more specifically, the extent of data needs and statistical sampling alternatives) was implemented. In May 1977, FHWA's Director of Highway Planning requested that the Program Management Division establish a study group to determine the methods and data needs of monitoring highway performance.
