Warsaw and Helsinki Universities of Technology have been cooperating since 1991 to exchange survey and comptutional methodologies and data from their road systems. This paper describes the field measurement methods and data processing techniques used in Poland and Finland and evaluates the possibilities of transferring expertise from a country with a high motorisation factor to a country with a small one and vice versa. The characteristics of the road systems of each country and measurement techniques are described. Details are given of data processing. The two methodologies were found to be different due to their differing aims. It was possible to exchange data and it is planned to use Finnish programmes to calculate travel speed and number of overtakings in Poland.
