Modernize Census Infrastructure Technology
Advancements in technology have introduced various potential solutions for traffic census data collection. These technologies each have unique strengths and weaknesses and vary in aspects such as maturity, cost, deployment requirements, and performance metrics. The proposed research aims to perform a systematic evaluation of these options. The technologies under consideration range from traditional methods such as Inductive Loop and Magnetometer to advanced techniques like Video Detection Systems and LiDAR technology. The objectives of this research are to conduct a thorough literature review, conduct stakeholder engagements, form an evaluation matrix for these technologies, and offer specific recommendations for different traffic scenarios, in addition to calculating the lifecycle costs for each technology. The culmination of this research will provide insightful suggestions for the implementation of efficient, cost-effective, and advanced traffic census systems.
