Automated traffic data being posted on the Internet by an increasing number of cities are a potentially invaluable source of information on national vehicle travel and highway system performance. An experimental system is presented that demonstrates the feasibility of using these data to create national indicators of vehicle travel and traffic congestion. The experiment raises a number of critical institutional and technical issues that must be resolved before a complete national system can be realized. This paper represents a progress report on the initial phase of an ongoing study.
