Traffic Surveys — Counts & Classification

AADT and turning movements with triple checking and up to 1% average error.

Classified counts of vehicles, pedestrians and intersections for tariff calculation, contractual monitoring, impact studies and capacity analysis.

When to engage

Monitoring obligation

The concession has to report volumes regularly — and the AADT underpins the tariff calculation.

Impact study or licensing

The impact study requires recent, classified counts with a documented methodology.

Critical intersection

A traffic signal, roundabout or microsimulation requires a turning movement count by period.

Sub-services — Counts & Classification

Classified count (AADT)

Count classified by time, vehicle category and number of axles (lifted and rolling).

Pedestrian count

Pedestrian count for active mobility and urban projects.

Turning movement count

Turning movement count for traffic signals, roundabouts and microsimulation.

How we deliver

01

Definition of points and periods

Points, vehicle categories and counting windows according to the aim of the study.

02

Video recording

Filming of the points — the count is made on the video, which allows any period to be recounted.

03

Independent triple checking

Three independent counts of the same period: discrepancies are arbitrated and documented.

04

AADT and reports

Volumes by category and period, AADT and spreadsheets ready for the study.

Frequently asked questions

Through independent triple checking on the video recording, which brings the average error down to 1%.

We count by vehicle category, producing the AADT that underpins tariff calculation and the monitoring obligation.

Turning movement counts feed capacity analysis and microsimulation, and volumetric counts feed impact studies.

The video recording allows any period to be recounted — it is what makes the independent triple checking and the 1% average error possible.

The video recording allows continuous counting windows, including night-time periods, according to the design of the study.
