A Data Driven Approach to Creating a Traffic Sign Asset Inventory using Remote Sensing Technology
DownloadSpring 2019
Traffic signs play a critical role in the safety and efficiency of any roadway, but with limited information on the current status of traffic sign inventories, the placement and condition of traffic signs goes largely unchecked. Therefore, the collection of a complete traffic sign inventory (TSI)...
