Abstract
An Expressway Surveillance Project was established in April 1961 as a part of the research program of the Illinois Division of Highways, under the supervision of the Bureau of Research and Planning. The project is being financed with Highway Planning Survey funds made available through the United States Federal Aid Highway Acts with the State of Illinois, Cook County, and the City of Chicago contributing the necessary matching funds. An Advisory Committee, consisting of representatives of the four cooperating agencies, was appointed and meets frequently to review the progress of the project and to review and to advise on steps recommended for future experimental work.
The project is conducted under the sponsorship of the State of Illinois, the County of Cook, and the City of Chicago, and in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Commerce.
