| Background: | Many States are collecting length based classification data but few are collecting it using the same criteria. Agencies need to know the variability in their collection programs to better use the limited resources they are using to collect length based classification data. |
| Objectives: | Field test installation methods for loops to determine the most cost effective and best performing procedures and materials. Determine the number of bins and the length spacing for each of those bins for uniform collection of length based classification data. Establish calibration standards for vehicle length based meaurements. |
| Scope of Work: | See the attached Statement of Work for more details. |
| Comments: | The minimum number of States that will need to participate for a $30,000 contribution is 20 States. Gene Hicks from MinnDOT is the State contact for this pooled fund. |
