However, overall the project demand levels were estimated using straight line regression as currently used by Federal Highway Administration's Highway Performance forecasting is not accurate and a new method should be forecasting method generally results in a demand estimate in the determination of the accuracy of the forecasting levels of traffic demand. The data that was used was the located on the Texas A&M campus. These data sets were used lowered by a standard percentage, then the projected data method as used by the TXDOT in the submission of the liPMS Monitoring System (BPMS), which is a data base containing much better than anticipated.
