Guidebook for Development of Traffic Monitoring Systems for Major Traffic Generators in the State of Texas (0-5531-P3)

This guidebook was designed to aid the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and other state and local agencies to develop an effective traffic monitoring system for new major traffic generators in their metropolitan region. This guidebook can provide transportation planners and engineers with a better understanding of the considerations that need to be taken when developing a monitoring system for these types of large generators. The guidebook is organized to provide an understanding of major traffic generators, how to develop an effective monitoring system, and how to analyze the impacts with the data collected from the system. By creating and maintaining a comprehensive and effective system for collecting, transmitting, archiving, and reporting traffic data for major traffic generators, planners and engineers can use this information to improve regional planning efforts and better incorporate these traffic generators into their respective transportation networks and future plans.
