Traffic Data Collection and CCTV Surveys

Modern transport planning requires highly accurate, verifiable data. Our traffic data collection services utilize advanced AI-powered CCTV systems to provide robust datasets for developers, local authorities, and transport planners across the United Kingdom. By controlling the data collection process in-house, we ensure that the raw data is formatted perfectly to support your wider planning goals.

CCTV Junction Surveys and Turning Movement Counts

Traditional manual counts are increasingly being replaced by sophisticated video analytics. We deploy high-definition, battery-powered camera systems capable of continuous monitoring to capture complex junction dynamics. Utilizing object detection models, we provide precise Turning Movement Counts (TMC) that accurately categorize vehicle types, from heavy goods vehicles to passenger cars. This verifiable data serves as the foundation for an effective Traffic Impact Assessment.

Automatic Traffic Counts and Link Counts

Understanding traffic flow along specific links is essential for establishing a robust Baseline Study. Our non-intrusive camera setups offer a safer and often more reliable alternative to pneumatic road tubes, eliminating the need for complex road closures. This continuous data capture ensures a highly accurate picture of Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and peak flow trends.

Active Travel and Pedestrian Surveys

With an increasing focus on sustainable transport, local authorities require detailed insights into non-motorized road users. Our AI processing is finely tuned to differentiate between pedestrians, cyclists, and e-scooters. This detailed active travel data is critical when formulating a comprehensive Travel Plan or responding to specific local authority transport policies.

Compliance and Local Authority Permissions

Deploying equipment on public highways requires strict adherence to local regulations. We manage the entire deployment process, including securing Section 178 licenses from the Local Highway Authority, ensuring Chapter 8 compliance for street works, and fulfilling all necessary GDPR privacy obligations. This fully managed service removes the bureaucratic burden, allowing you to focus seamlessly on your overarching Planning Delivery and project delivery.
