DEVELOPMENT OF DATA MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE FOR TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS AT INTERSECTIONS
This study was undertaken for the purpose of developing intersection data collection methods and approaches which reflect the current needs of engineers and the state-of-the-art capabilities of available equipment. A literature review summarizes previous work which is pertinent to intersection studies and data collection. Interviews were conducted with personnel from city, county and state agencies to determine study equipment availability, desired equipment, personnel resources, types of studies thata are conducted, and general problems that are related to intersection data collection. A set of study method selection factors were developed. An evaluation focused on investigating the application of photographic and television equipment with studies to determine the time required for data reduction when using these approaches to data collection. For the conditions in Arizona, the ue of photographic and video equipment represents a feasible alternative to data collection methods which are more labor intensive. (Author)
