Objective Category
Arterial Management: Traffic Monitoring and Data Collection

These objectives focus on developing or improving traffic monitoring and data collection on arterials that is necessary for managing arterials through signalization or traveler information.

Associated Objectives and Performance Measures

Objective Performance Measure
Field data collection is conducted either through floating car studies or other methods at least once every Y years on major signalized arterials and X years on minor signalized arterials. Number of field data collection studies performed every Y and X years on major and minor signalized arterials, respectively.
X percent of intersections in the region are equipped and operating with traffic signals that enable real-time monitoring and management of traffic flows by year Y. Percent of intersections in the region equipped and operating with traffic signals that enable real-time monitoring and management of traffic flows.
X percent of major and minor arterials are equipped and operating with arterial link traffic data detection stations (appropriate technology) per Z distance by year Y. Percent of major and minor arterials equipped and operating with arterial link traffic data detection stations (appropriate technology) per Z distance.
X percent of major and minor arterials are equipped and operating with closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras per Z distance by year Y. Percent of major and minor arterials equipped and operating with closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras per Z distance.
