This introduction to TRB Circular 446 presents an overview of the Circular's contents. The Circular's goal is to facilitate dissemination of and to improve accessibility to information on low-volume roads to the operating agencies worldwide. The Circular contains information on assessing worldwide low-volume roads' problems, needs, and impacts. Information presented covers 4 continents -- Australia, Europe, Africa, and North America. Highlights of the several approaches that are presented in this Circular are discussed under the following headings: Monitoring Performance of Existing Roads; Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC); Personal Computers (PCs) and Micro Computers; The Use of Expert Systems; Central Tire Inflation (CTI); Appropriate Standards; Funding; and Information Dissemination.
