Enhancing Arizona Department of Transportation's Traffic Data Resource

Category : Traffic surveys

Book Description
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) undertook a review and evaluation of the technologies used by the agency to process, store, manage, and disseminate traffic data. Traffic count information constitutes the most elemental data that ADOT uses for planning, analysis and monitoring, and yet often remains the least accessible within the agency. ADOT found that different functional departments often duplicated traffic counts, count information was often little understood, and hence not trusted, and consistent data were not accessible throughout ADOT -- there was not a single source where traffic data were collected and disseminated. Through the research ADOT identified a hierarchy of actions designed to more effectively manage this most basic resource, and to restore confidence among users. An implementation plan was developed and is now being acted upon within the department.
Collecting and Managing Traffic Data on Local Roads

Book Description
In Minnesota, most traffic data is collected by MnDOT district offices. However, some cities and counties, particularly those in the seven-county Metro area, gather their own traffic counts on County State Aid Highways, county roads and Municipal State Aid Streets. MnDOT is investigating alternatives to this primarily centralized approach to gathering traffic counts. To support this effort, this report examines traffic counting practices on local roads from five perspectives: 1. Current MnDOT traffic counting practices 2. Traffic counting technologies appropriate for temporary deployment 3. Literature review of traffic counting practices on local roads 4. Surveys of statewide participants in MnDOT's traffic data collection program (initial and supplemental surveys) 5. Survey of state DOTs local road traffic data collection practices
Traffic Data Collection and its Standardization

Book Description
A nice night of October 2007, in Beijing, during the XV World Conference on ITS a number of colleagues met informally for a dinner party that spontaneously became a vivid discussion on the importance of traffic data for all types of p- poses. Researchers can hardly do any progress in modeling, developing, and te- ing theories without suitable data, and what practitioners can do in real life is limited not only by technology but also by the availability of the required data. Quite frequently, the data and not the technologies are what determine how far we can go. Any discussion about traffic data leads in a natural way to a discussion on the variety of traffic data sources, formats, levels of aggregation, accuracies, and so on. Consequently, we moved to talk on the initiative that Kuwahara had undertaken in his traffic laboratory at the University of Tokyo, known as the International Traffic Data Base, and thus smoothly but inexorably we came to agree that it would be convenient to organize a workshop to continue our discussion at a more formal level, share our points of view with other colleagues, listen what they had to say and, if possible, d- seminate the findings in our professional and academic communities.
Data Analysis for Bus Planning and Monitoring

ISBN: 9780309068611
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This synthesis reviews the state of the practice in how data are analyzed. It addresses methods used to analyze data and what computer systems are used to store and process data. It also covers accuracy issues, including measurement error, and other problems including error in estimates. This document from the Transportation Research Board addresses agency experience with different data collection systems, giving attention to management error, the need for sampling, and methods for screening, editing, and compensating for data imperfection. Sample reports from selected U.S. and Canadian transit agencies are reproduced in this synthesis.
Information Needs to Support State and Local Transportation Decision Making Into the 21st Century

Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
The conference provided an opportunity for participants to (a) identify the types of data that are critical for planning and policy analysis; (b) identify data-collection requirements; (c) discuss the appropriate roles of and relationships among federal, state, and local agencies in the context of data collection and dissemination; and (d) review the impact of technological advances on data collection and dissemination. The invitation-only conference included participants from state departments of transportation (DOTs), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and federal agencies providing broad representation of the transportation planning and policy communities. Significant effort was made to include a full spectrum of policy, management, and front-line analysts who have extensive experience in answering policy questions, supporting the planning process, and responding to federal reporting requirements.
