Expedite IT
Traffic counting surveys are pivotal for effectively managing and understanding traffic flow on roads, highways, and intersections. Expedite IT excels in providing these surveys, offering crucial insights that support transportation planning and infrastructure development. A traffic counting survey systematically gathers data on vehicle volume and movement at specific locations. This information is vital for traffic engineers, urban planners, and government agencies, helping them make informed decisions about road design, traffic management, and infrastructure enhancements.
These surveys reveal traffic patterns, peak hours, and the necessity for traffic signals or roundabouts. They also help assess how new developments might affect traffic flow. By analyzing traffic behavior, authorities can improve road networks, reduce congestion, and boost road safety. Manual traffic counting involves staff who count and record vehicle movements using clickers or tally counters. Although this method is labor-intensive and time-consuming, it provides precise data for smaller surveys. Conversely, automatic traffic counting employs advanced technologies like sensors, cameras, and radar systems to detect and tally vehicles efficiently. This approach is cost-effective and suitable for extensive surveys conducted over longer periods.
TURNING MOVEMENT COUNTS SURVEY (TMC)
Turning Movement Counts (TMC) collect and analyse the movement of cars at intersections. They provide insights into patterns in traffic flow and the optimization of signals. The information gathered from TMC informs the decisions made on intersection layout signals, signal timing, as well as transportation management. TMC assists in analyzing the dynamics of vehicles, which helps ensure efficient and safe operations of traffic in urban environments..
BUS OCCUPANCY SURVEY
Demand, supply utilization, occupancy and supply surveys are possible for survey of bus occupancy. Buses for public transport, labor and Staff buses are examined.
Bus occupancy surveys are conducted to collect information about the number of people who use buses at particular dates and times.
AUTOMATIC TRAFFIC COUNTS
The roadside recorder is placed along the road, where automatic counting of traffic flows are recorded. It can be used to measure speed, the number of vehicle movement, or even the amount of weight that vehicles pass through. Automated traffic counts may be ongoing or at particular intervals and assessed using advanced analytics.
PEDESTRIAN / CYCLE MOVEMENT SURVEYS
Transportation planners are increasingly required to carry out pedestrian surveys. As road users, pedestrians are the most prone as well as their safety essential.
As well as the counting of pedestrians in intersections and crossings (both legal and illicitly crossing) it is possible to analyze the demographics, gender and other information about the pedestrians.
VEHICLE OCCUPANCY SURVEY
The surveys of the vehicle’s occupancy gather information about the amount of passengers in vehicles at any given moment as well as the location. They are utilized in planning transportation to analyze the patterns of travel and to identify the transportation requirements. Through the collection of data about car occupancy, experts in transportation will be able to assess the efficacy of the various modes of transportation and assign resources accordingly.
REVEALED/STATED PREFERENCE INTERVIEWS
The revealed or stated preference interviews we conduct can help you understand the habits and preferences of individuals with regard to the choices they make regarding transportation. With carefully designed questions and techniques for collecting data provide valuable insight about the factors that affect decision-making which allows us to gain a better understanding of how people travel, their modes of transportation as well as the factors that affect transport demand. The data we collect is the base to inform transportation planning as well as developing effective strategies.
ORIGIN / DESTINATION SURVEYS
An origin and destination survey gathers data regarding the areas which vehicles travel between and to. The surveys are utilized in transport planning in order to comprehend the patterns of travel and to determine the best way to allocate resources. In analyzing data regarding locations and origins Transportation professionals are able to identify regions that are in significant demand for transportation and increase effectiveness.
The norm is that 2 fieldworkers will have a station at their both ends of the road, taking note of the number plates, and then process data stored on computers..
QUEUE LENGTH SURVEYS
The nature of the study and the clients’ requirements, queue length surveys are conducted by hand and using the aid of digital recording equipment. Queue length can be determined by PCUs or vehicles or in the distance to a junction.
The length of queues can be a helpful way in improving performance of transport system and decrease congestion.
QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEYS
The surveys we conduct can take place either in the stores or out for example, like Roadside Interviews (RSI) surveys and household Interviews (HHI). A few examples of findings we’ve obtained include: identifying consumer shopping habits. Finding their journey routes towards their destination. Determine work schedules and the arrival time for employees in the retail industry.
Many micromobility survey surveys have been completed recently during which the participants were questioned and data was collected.
JOURNEY / TRAVEL TIME SURVEY
The average time to travel along an individual route is determined by using GPS devices at various locations on a route in peak times. The intervals of one second are recorded in between measurements of coordinates. This survey uses the floating car method, and the data on average travel times is calculated. In addition, the route is recorded for the time of delays in various locations.
ANPR / ALPR
ANPR which is also known as Automatic Number Plate Recognition, is a special survey method employing video in order to obtain car number plate information. Every number plate is stamped to reflect the current time and date. This permits us to identify vehicles’ movements in large intersections. Swiftworks offers detailed reports on the registration of vehicle numbers of all vehicles that pass through specific locations.
The kind of survey you want to conduct can be made automated by the help of a camera that is specifically designed for it or be conducted manually.
METRO / TRAIN STATIONS SURVEYS
The study is focused on metro station survey surveys for public use that collect various kinds of data, like board/alight/drop-off/pick-up timings on the metro, pedestrian activities on subway, metro, taxi/private vehicle and shuttle bus wait times and more. Alongside other aspects, these studies assess the length of time they spend waiting to catch a train or bus as well as the overall satisfaction of the travel experience overall, and the perception of the journey. Surveys on travel time are conducted in pre-selected places for the purpose of data collection.
SPEED SURVEYS
A majority of speed survey are done midblock, for instance in order to determine the best speed profile. However, sometimes the location shifts to be near an intersection to meet specific information requirements related to road safety.
A handheld handheld device that is manual or fixed radar may be used for quick speed tests.
PARKING SURVEYS
These surveys record the movement of vehicles in the parking spaces are observed as well as the amount of vehicles that are parked in the parking space at specific times (1-24 hours or up to weekly intervals) Entrance and Exit places, arrival and departure times of vehicles are also noted. The data collected is used for the planning of transportation to better understand parking needs and find solutions for parking challenges.
Surveys of parking can increase the efficiency of transportation infrastructure and help sustainably use land.
