Development of an Evaluation and Acceptance Process for Traffic Count Devices
As new traffic count device technologies emerge, it is crucial to establish guidelines for their evaluation and acceptance for use by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). These guidelines should consider factors such as count accuracy and reliability. Having guidelines will ensure that the most effective and efficient technologies are implemented for traffic monitoring and management. This project aims to develop an evaluation process for assessing the suitability of traffic count sensors for traffic monitoring purposes. The methodology will be tested and validated using a vision-based classification device as a pilot. The potential implementation of this research is that the Traffic Operations Division (TOD) can utilize the research results to establish an official traffic count device verification and acceptance procedure. This standardized procedure can be applied to all future traffic count devices seeking verification for use by VDOT.
