Integrating Intersection Traffic Signal Data into a Traffic Monitoring Program

GDOT’s Office of Transportation Data (OTD) currently gathers traffic count data from portable and permanent traffic data collection devices that are installed at data collection sites. OTD uses this data to perform a variety of functions including establishing and managing the functional classifications of public highways and publishing mandatory federal reports (Highway Performance Monitoring System report). The current study will quantify the accuracy of the vehicle count data that can be obtained from vehicle detectors connected to traffic controllers and gather statistical evidence confirming (or disproving) the feasibility of using these data-streams to substitute the portable data collection efforts at available locations.
