Evaluation of Portable Automated Data Collection Technologies: Interim Report, Work Accomplished During Fiscal Year 2005-2006

Portable automatic data collection systems that combine state-of-the-art non-intrusive sensors, mounting systems, portable power sources, and flexible data transmission systems, can be less labor-intensive and less costly in comparison to manual data collection. This report describes work conducted as part of a research project which has as its overall goals to identify portable data collection systems, demonstrate them in the field under realistic conditions, and evaluate them to determine whether they can serve as substitutes for manual traffic data collection. Three specific data collection tasks are addressed: multi-lane traffic counts and speed data, vehicle classification counts, and turning movement counts. The project is limited to systems that currently exist or can be easily assembled from existing components.
