Traffic Surveys

Traffic counts by turning movement and vehicle classification at intersections big and small. Junction counts are gathered through the recording of activity using miniaturised cctv systems and the video files are processed either through our A.I. powered tracking and classification engine "Auto Count", or through our computer aided manual counting software "Smarter Counting". Data is provided in excel based reports in the time interval of client choice. Data can also be viewed in our custom built analysis software "Analyser" to create data visualisations, flow diagrams, automatically identify peak hours among many other features.

It is possible for us to employ a range of different technologies to capture origin and destination data. Idaso provides both Bluetooth Data Collection or Automated Registration Plate Recognition (ANPR) surveys depending on the project requirements.

Through the use of industry standard pneumatic tube counters we collected data for extended periods delivering both volumetric, classification and speed statistic data. Not all site are suitable for this methodology and in these circumstances self powering miniturised cctv systems are used to record vehicular activity to be later automatically analysed through our A.I. powered tracking and classification engine "Auto Count" to deliver volumetric and classification data.

In car parks, parking beat surveys can record the occupancy of spaces at regular intervals to produce a profile of the use of the car park and ascertain when the car park is most heavily used. The parking beat survey can be used for existing or new developments to justify the level of parking provision. Both off-street and on-street parking trends can be assessed. Parking demand in different areas or zones that are controlled and uncontrolled may also be assessed.

Whether for retail, event or infrastructure planning, footfall data can be invaluable, Idaso collects data on volumetric flows, demographics, behavioural data of pedestrians in both interior and exterior environments.

Studies have found strong correlations between traffic conflicts and crashes. The “Conflict iceberg or pyramid”, demonstrates how near accidents correlate to the likelihood of serious conflicts in the future.

Through the use of video cameras, artificial intelligence and manual classification, Idaso collects conflict analysis of junctions

Whether to assess required sightlines, understand driver behaviour or better understand stopping distances, speed statistics are a vital to have an accurate understand of. Idaso provides a range of methods of collating this data from using floating car data to installing survey equipment.

Sometimes a unique perspective is required and our drown surveys can provide the solution especially for large scale sites or projects with challenging requirements.

Journey time data can be collected through moving observer studies where vehicles equipped with gps location devices are driven on specific routes at set intervals to ascertain typical journey times. Alternatively or indeed supplementarily floating car data can also be used to collate this information.
