Mobile CCTV and Video Surveys
Video surveys provide more accurate data than manual surveys providing digital evidence of the results and ability
for future analysis if required. Our cameras are all time and date stamped. Primarily used to collate traffic data at
roundabouts, priority junctions and traffic signals. We also install and provide complete stand alone CCTV
monitoring cameras which can be placed according to individual client requests and used for both live monitoring or
stand alone recordings. Video surveys can also be used for non-motorised user counts (pedestrians and cyclists),
monitoring servicing activity and public transport surveys.
Video Surveys
Temporary ATCs and Permanent Loops
Temporary and permanent traffic counters for classification and speed of vehicles and cycles. ATC’s provide a cost
effective way of collecting data over longer periods of time and provide greater accuracy than radar units. We use
MetroCount counters which provide both speed and class for temporary installations. We can easily adjust the time
intervals and speed bins for ATC data and include 85th percentile information in the speed data as standard. Radar
units are also available. Permanent installations provide a cost effective solution for longer term monitoring.
Automatic Traffic Counters
ANPR
Our team specialises in ANPR surveys and has undertaken hundreds of large scale studies using mobile digital
infrared ANPR cameras allowing studies to be undertaken in line with client’s requirements. Providing accurate
origin and destination information, journey times and duration of stay. We aim for 90% recognition and provide a
detailed matrix of recognition vs. total vehicles as a verification of each site. Our verification system allows manual
adjustment of misread or partial plates as well as classification to three classes (Lights/Heavies/PSV).
Automatic Number Plate Recognition
Journey Times
Journey Times (GPS)
Accurate journey time measurement using GPS loggers and one driver to record car journey times. We can also
provide bus journey times and in vehicle video recording.
Parking Surveys
Monitoring parking demand, parking stress and capacity. We can undertake Lambeth Methodology parking beats in
London presented in PDF using MAPINFO for clear representation of data particularly useful for public consultations
to provide a clear visual picture of existing parking issues.
Parking Surveys
Pedestrian Counts
Assessments of pedestrian behaviour and volumes at crossing points, footways, PV2, shoppers and event
monitoring undertaken using video cameras or manually on site. We also provide signal timings and call times for
pedestrian surveys using either video camera or our bespoke fibre optic device which can record phase statistics
without interfering with the operation of the traffic signal.
Public Transport Surveys
All forms of public transport studies undertaken from terminus, station, bus and train counts to interviews, route
schedules and journey times.
