Traffic Data Collection & Analysis supports transportation planning, development review, and permitting decisions. Traffic engineers collect, process, and analyze traffic data to evaluate operations, safety, and compliance with local and state requirements. These services commonly support traffic impact studies, access management reviews, and infrastructure planning efforts.
Typical data collection and analysis efforts include turning movement counts, roadway segment counts, speed and spot speed studies, and crash data analysis. The results provide reliable, defensible information to support planning, design, and development approvals.
Turning Movement Counts
Turning Movement Counts document vehicular movements at intersections during designated peak periods. Traffic engineers collect and review field data to quantify turning volumes and intersection demand. These counts support traffic impact studies, access management evaluations, and operational analyses during development review.
Roadway Segment Counts
Roadway Segment Counts measure traffic volumes along roadway segments over defined time periods. Traffic engineers use this data to evaluate existing conditions and future demand. The results support traffic impact studies, access management evaluations, and compliance with transportation requirements during planning and permitting
Speed and Spot Speed Studies
Speed and Spot Speed Studies evaluate prevailing vehicle speeds along roadway segments or at specific locations. Traffic engineers collect and analyze speed data to assess operating conditions and safety concerns. These studies support access management decisions, traffic impact studies, and operational evaluations.
Crash Data Analysis
Crash Data Analysis reviews reported crash records to identify trends, contributing factors, and safety concerns. Traffic engineers analyze historical crash data to evaluate roadway safety and operational performance. The findings support safety studies, traffic impact analyses, and multimodal evaluations.
Data Analysis for Traffic Engineering Applications
Data Analysis for Traffic Engineering Applications focuses on interpreting traffic data from field studies, agencies, and approved sources. Traffic engineers transform raw data into clear technical findings. This analysis supports traffic studies, access management evaluations, parking studies, and permitting decisions during agency review.
