Traffic engineering studies are used to obtain relevant empirical data, and that data must be collected in an unbiased, objective manner to result in appropriate decisions for improvements. The volume of vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians is a key input to many traffic engineering analyses. Speed is an important measure for traffic operations, because highway users relate speed to economics, safety, time, comfort, and convenience. Analysts use the results of intersection and driveway studies to determine what kind of traffic control devices are warranted and to determine intersection capacity, traffic signal timing, site development impacts, safe speeds, driveway locations, and other important parameters. The development of a variety of technologies and techniques will assist transportation professionals and public officials with further refinement and future implementation. These technologies and techniques include new, more efficient, and more accurate data collection methods, as well as applications for real‐time data analysis and integration.
