Highway Traffic Monitoring Committee (ACP70)

Mission:

The mission of the committee is to provide resources, support and guidance to enhance, enable, and advance the state of the practice with regard to highway traffic monitoring and data collection technologies, methods, and management techniques.

Scope:

This committee is concerned with all aspects of research in the fields of highway traffic monitoring, including detection, counting, classification, and in-motion weighing of highway vehicles. Its scope encompasses the full range of monitoring technology, including traffic sensors (both intrusive and non-intrusive), installation materials and techniques, signal processing algorithms, analysis and reporting techniques, and comprehensive monitoring programs targeting both motorized and nonmotorized (or micromobility) traffic. In addition, this committee is interested in methods and tools for traffic data processing, summarization, analysis, and presentation of traffic-related information to stakeholders. Further, the scope includes, but is not limited to, alternative sources of data such as probe and connected and autonomous vehicle data focusing on the analysis, use, and applications of these datasets in highway traffic monitoring. The committee is also concerned with highway monitoring standards to ensure the applicability and quality of traffic data in all its applications. 

It takes the collaboration of many individuals to effectively manage a TRB Committee. Some of these individuals are listed below with their committee roles:

What's happening nationally in the Traffic Monitoring World?

There are several completed and ongoing projects that the committee tries to monitor, a number of research needs statements that have been submitted to different organizations for funding, calls for TRB papers are announced every year, and TRB webinars and workshops are being organized to meet the needs of the traffic monitoring data community.
