Abstract

ATAC was contacted by the Grand Forks - East Grand Forks MPO with regards to using the existing traffic detection cameras for traffic data collection and archival. Thirty sample intersections were setup for data collection and monitored by ATAC staff. Detectors, detector stations, and detector functions were created on a per lane basis. Throughout the project, data accuracy checks were developed to ensure camera precision of collected traffic volumes. Concluding results indicated that acceptable turning movement counts can be obtained from the existing cameras for traffic detection in Grand Forks. Phase II - entailing remote access, data collection, and archival setup of future cameras within Grand Forks was proposed from the successes of Phase I.
