NEW Market Analysis of Collecting Fundamental Roadway Data Elements to Support the Highway Safety Improvement Program, FHWA-SA-11-40
The objective of this effort was to conduct a market analysis of the potential cost to States in developing a statewide location referencing system and collecting the FDE/HSIP in all public roadways. This effort also investigated potential methodologies that could be applied to estimate the benefits in terms of safety of collecting this additional roadway information. This report provides the results of this effort and provides suggestions for future research.
