The Berkeley Highway Laboratory (BHL) is a 2.7 mile section of Interstate 80 in west Berkeley and Emeryville. The facility has video cameras (originally 12 FFOV and 2 PTZ cameras, which are to be replaced by 8 FFOV and several new PTZ cameras) and 168 loop detectors installed to monitor traffic. The facility serves as a research testbed for research in transportation at UC Berkeley, and is operated in coordination with Caltrans, PATH, and CCIT.

This Web site contains additional information about the BHL and BHL research; provides access to real-time and historical traffic data; displays real-time status of the BHL's traffic detectors and data collection system; and informs researchers about obtaining data for independent research.
