The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Transportation Planning and Programming Division (TPP) is the sole source of TxDOT archived traffic data. The Traffic Analysis Section of TPP (TPP(T)) has traditionally provided the service of statewide and special count traffic data collection and reporting traffic data and will continue to provide other divisions, agencies, and the public with traffic data necessary for their efforts. TxDOT Project 5-1801-01, 'Improving Processes for Obtaining and Utilizing Traffic Data for Highway Design,' implemented recommendations from TxDOT Project 0-1801, 'Evaluate and Develop an Improved System for Collecting and Reporting Traffic Loads to Better Meet the Needs of Bridge and Pavement Designers.' The Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) performed both projects. Project 0-1801 had two primary objectives: (1) compare current TxDOT procedures and protocols with the state-of-the-practice and the needs of its data customers; and (2) develop enhanced traffic collection, archival, analysis, forecasting, and reporting methodologies. |
