• Abstract:
  Reliable intersection-traffic data are essential for transportation planning, operations, and safety. The City of Bismarck relies on targeted short counts, which is the predominant, albeit outdated, type of intersection traffic data collection. The city recently updated its signalized intersection equipment, hardware, and communications, making it possible to remotely monitor, maintain, troubleshoot, and collect continuous traffic data. The Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute (UGPTI) has built a web-based traffic data analysis tool. This traffic analysis tool uses existing traffic signal control devices to collect data 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and 365 days per year. The primary purpose of this pilot project was to develop the agency-to-UGPTI connections and build a compatible traffic analysis tool database for the Bismarck-Mandan MPO to collect data from intersections operated/maintained by City of Bismarck.
