New Development of Road Traffic Survey in Japan : From Once Every Five Years to 24/7
It is impossible to obtain data necessary to take priority countermeasures to resolve traffic congestion and other road traffic problems occurring throughout Japan in the face of a strong public demand for cost reductions, by performing a road traffic census only once every five years as we have in the past. We must gather traffic data, which changes continuously, on all of Japan’s arterial roads. So the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has radically revised the way that road traffic is surveyed to base traffic volumes and travelling speed on constant monitoring. This paper introduces trends in efforts to perform constant monitoring.
