DEVELOPMENT OF A RANDOM SAMPLING PROCEDURE FOR LOCAL ROAD TRAFFIC COUNT LOCATIONS
S T Bowling, Lisa Aultman-Hall · Journal of transportation and statistics · 2003
This paper presents a procedure to determine random count of locations on functionally local roads. Geographic information system (GIS)-generated grid was used to cut roads into point-like sections from which a random sample was drawn. The advantages of this procedure are that it overcomes GIS local road database limitations, uses standard GIS functions, and generates outputs that can be directly mapped for field crews.
