Abstract
The development of the Photo/File system provided an additional low cost method for gathering comprehensive road information. This system was designed to assist highway administrators, planners and engineers in evaluating numerous physical features of the highway. The Photo/File data recording system provides a complete, photographic record of the roadway as seen from the driver's point of view. A pilot study of the Photo/File system consisting of 200 miles of primary highways was undertaken in 1961. The purpose of this study was to appraise this new technique as to the potential benefits to the Iowa State Highway Commission. The results of the test study were most favorable.
