AN IMPERATIVE FOR, AND CURRENT PROGRESS TOWARD, NATIONAL TRAFFIC MONITORING STANDARDS

An imperative for national traffic monitoring standards has been presented based on current diverse practices and the consequence of those practices on the variability and applicability of traffic summary statistics. Both the American Society for Testing and Materials and the Association of American State Highway and Transportation Officials have responded to this need. The implementation of standards will require a willingness to collect, summarize, and transmit traffic data in a manner that serves not only immediate concerns, but also the shared interests of the profession and the nation. National traffic monitoring standards and guidelines are being developed and refined throughout the country, and effort in this area by various professional agencies is reviewed.
