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

Book Description
The objective of these AASHTO Guidelines is to improve the quality of the traffic information that supports decisions at all levels of the transportation profession. The Guidelines provide a reference for professional traffic monitoring and establish a process for adoption of national traffic nomitoring standards. They specifically address concerns of state transportation agencies.

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.

Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to traffic engineers, highway planners, and others concerned with the collection of traffic data for traffic engineering studies, for long-range planning, and for evaluation of traffic law enforcement. Information is presented on current practice in traffic data collection and analysis. Although types of highway traffic data collected over the past 50 years have not changed significantly, the quantities, analysis procedure, and presentations of these data have changed as a result of changing policies, operational concerns, and capabilities resulting from new technologies. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the technology (both hardware and software) that is being used for traffic data collection, and discusses technological advances that have not yet been applied to the acquisition and presentation of traffic data.

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.
