TRAFFIC MONITORING IN GREAT BRITAIN. SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ROAD TRAFFIC MONITORING

Fraser Johnson

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This paper briefly describes the Department of Transport'S present system of traffic data collection in Britain, and considers how it is hoped to develop the system in the future both to improve the accuracy of the estimates and to provide improved services to our customers. The main 'customers' are those sections of the department involved in the planning and maintenance of the road system, and in the monitoring of road accidents. Our main effort is, therefore, designed to provide estimates of traffic by type of road and by type of vehicle for Great Britain as a whole. (Author/TRRL)
