• Abstract:
  An overall analysis of traffic data acquisition and distribution processes and techniques as performed by the Transportation Planning Division (D-10) of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation is presented in this report. An assessment of needs for traffic information is developed through a series of interviews with district and division personnel of the Department. An analysis of data acquisition and distribution techniques for each of the four principal types of traffic data is presented. Traffic volume data is found to be the most utilized and most needed type of traffic information. An analysis of automatic traffic recorder (ATR) data acquisition practices indicates that the number and location of ATR stations may be altered to facilitate more efficient volume data acquisition.
