Traffic Counts & Field Data Collection
Overview

What is this service?

Traffic counts and field data collection on existing traffic movement: vehicle volumes (vehicles per hour), actual speeds, movement patterns, peak hours, and pedestrian counts where required. ABAK's team carries this out using accredited methodologies and modern counting equipment, providing the precise data on which the traffic study, the road's capacity determination and the resulting engineering decisions are built.

Why do you need this service?

The precise scientific basis for any sound traffic study.

Establishes the actual capacity of the road and its intersections.

Reliable data supporting design decisions and proposed measures.

Accurate identification of peak hours and movement patterns.

How It Works

Frequently Asked Questions About This Service

Why aren't estimates enough instead of field counts?

Because a traffic study rests on auditable numbers: actual vehicle volumes, measured speeds and observed peak hours. Undocumented estimates weaken the report and expose it to comments from the approving authority.

How long do the counts need to run?

It depends on the project type and the site's movement pattern; at minimum the morning and evening peaks are covered, and counts may run over several days to capture variation between weekdays.

Do the counts include pedestrian movement?

Yes where relevant — particularly near schools and busy commercial areas, because pedestrian crossings and safety are a core part of the engineering measures proposed.
