Project Name Reporting Capabilities for Continuous Vehicle Clas

Project Number (if applicable) 89261 W227

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: In the previous project, data warehouse and reporting utilities for weigh-in-motion and vehicle classification binary data have been successfully developed. The goal of this project is to develop new reporting functions and also modify existing functions to add more capabilities and improve utility. The main upgrade to Bullconverter would be error code translation and nearest 0.01 second time stamp for each vehicle record. Total eight new reporting functions in Bullreport will be implemented, along with several modifications to existing functions. Bullpiezo will add new functions to recognize FHWA .cla formats in order to directly produce reports from FHWA formatted data. Extensive tests on the new versions of software will be conducted by Mn/DOT TDA to ensure that all of them work correctly as originally intended.
