MISSION
Vehicle Detector Clearinghouse (VDC) is to provide information to transportation agencies on the capabilities of commercially available vehicle detectors by gathering,organizing, and sharing information concerning tests and test procedures in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner. Equipment types included in the VDC are devices which detect vehicle presence, speed, axles, classification (AVC), and weight (WIM). The clearinghouse will be a catalyst for developing standard test protocols.
