The Practical Utility of Highway Transport Surveys
This paper describes how the data obtained in a State-wide traffic and transport survey of the State highways of Ohio were utilized in formulating a plan and budget for future highway improvements. The field information was collected and recorded during a period of one year—December, 1924, to December, 1925. The routes of the State system of highways were classified as to traffic importance, based on the following considerations: (1) Density and character of traffic applied, for convenience of analysis, to five sections of the State; (2) maximum concentration periods; (3) influence of truck and bus traffic; ( 4) influence of population; ( 5) traffic service afforded by continuous routes and required by the needs of the individual citizen; and ( 6) the development and growth of future traffic. The plan of improvement was based on the traffic classification and the existing condition of the highways. A budget of the estimated cost to complete the plan in a 5-year period was prepared.
