Traffic Surveys

There are many reasons why you might want to monitor traffic and this is usually carried out where there is a proposed change to the use of a road. This might include.

• Road works
• Construction sites
• Proposed manufacturing plants
• Distributions centres
• New traffic management schemes
• The effect on residential areas
• New housing developments

It might be that there is a planning requirement or a regulation that must be adhered to, or sometimes local authorities just need to know. In any case, measuring the traffic is often quite straight forward and surprisingly informative.

There are various ways of conducting traffic surveys, depending on the application and the type of data required.

• Video systems
• Skilled manual surveyors
• Automatic Traffic Counting (ATC) Systems
• GPS based vehicle tracking systems.
