Our Services & Approach
Specialized data collection with engineering oversight.
Our Traffic Data Collection Services
We provide the specific, high-quality data you need for successful project outcomes. Each service is tailored to deliver actionable insights.
Turning Movement Counts (TMCs)
TMCs capture the volume of vehicles making each possible movement at an intersection. This detailed data is collected during peak hours (AM, PM) or for extended periods based on your needs.
Why it's needed:
- Crucial for traffic signal timing and optimization.
- Informs lane configuration design and intersection geometry.
- Assesses intersection Level of Service (LOS) and overall efficiency.
- Forms a key component of Traffic Impact Assessments (TIAs).
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) / Volume Counts
Typically conducted over a 24 to 48-hour period using pneumatic road tubes, these counts establish the baseline traffic volume on a specific road segment.
Why it's needed:
- Essential for development planning and site selection.
- Required for road maintenance scheduling and pavement design.
- Provides data for air quality and noise impact studies.
- Helps justify the need for road widening or other capacity improvements.
Pedestrian & Cyclist Pathway Counts
We deploy manual surveyors or video analytics to accurately count non-motorized users at intersections, mid-block crossings, and along multi-use pathways.
Why it's needed:
- Supports the planning of safe and effective active transportation networks.
- Justifies the installation of new crosswalks, bike lanes, and signals.
- Helps in understanding demand for shared facilities.
- Contributes to Vision Zero and other safety initiatives.
Vehicle Classification Counts
This service differentiates between various vehicle types, such as passenger cars, light trucks, heavy-duty trucks (e.g., semi-trailers), and buses, providing a detailed breakdown of the traffic composition.
Why it's needed:
- Critical for pavement design and lifespan analysis.
- Informs geometric design considerations like turning radii.
- Aids in logistics, freight, and commercial route planning.
- Provides data for noise barrier design and placement.
