Traffic Data Collection and Analysis

What do we do...
	The purpose of this section is to provide technical and informational support to the Department for its highway construction and highway maintenance activities.  To achieve these goals, the section is responsible to develop, operate and maintain several electronic information systems.   The three information systems that support these purposes are; Integrated traffic Monitoring System (ITMS) Traffic volume data and annual average traffic summaries for all provincial highways Weigh-In-Motion System (WIMS) Highway vehicles weight and type classification information and estimates for all provincial highways. Pavement Condition Monitoring System (ITMS) Pavement condition data and other summary information relating to the provincial "arterial" and higher level "collector" type highways - not province wide.
	This section develops information systems and manages field data collection processes, analyzes the information and carries out regular quality control and quality assurance for the above systems. In concert with these, this section also carries out other types of compilations and analysis for highway planning processes such as capacity analysis, intersection turning movement analysis, motor vehicle collision analysis and safety audits.
