• Abstract:
  The need for better information systems in highway administration has become increasingly evident over the past few years. With sophisticated computer equipment being used more and more by highway engineers, opportunities exist for the development of better information systems in several highway department functions, including highway planning, safety, and maintenance. Any information system requires the input of data on many phases of the highway network, but a common denominator is the location of specific points along the roadway. A system to facilitate the identification of these points -- a highway location reference system -- is thus an essential part of the overall information needs of a highway department.
