Costs to Small Agencies of Using Micros to Manage Traffic Records
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 116, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper discusses the costs and benefits of computerized traffic record systems and the actions required to implement them. While it emphasizes the problems and opportunities faced by small transportation and public works agencies, many points apply equally well to other types of organizations. Observations are based largely on experience implementing a comprehensive package of traffic record‐keeping software called the Berkeley Traffic System (BTS). The paper characterizes the visible and hidden costs and benefits of computerization, and related problems. It also provides a checklist of points to consider in planning for local implementation.
