Parking Survey: On-Road and Off-Road Parking Counts
On-road parking involves vehicles being parked directly on the street or sidewalk, often with varying restrictions or permit requirements, and is generally quick and cost-effective to implement. In contrast, off-road parking, such as in dedicated parking lots or garages, entails higher costs and longer construction times due to the need for property acquisition, paving, and facility development. On-road parking typically caters to short-term needs with minimal physical infrastructure, while off-road parking supports both short-term and long-term usage, requiring extensive operational facilities like toll systems and comprehensive physical improvements. This distinction is crucial for urban planning and traffic management, influencing both the design and functionality of parking solutions.
Level Crossing Monitoring & Reporting
We specialize in monitoring railway level crossings, focusing on barrier downtime and uptime, train arrival times and directions, pedestrian crossings, and vehicle movements. Our comprehensive analysis also addresses traffic turning near the crossing, blocking back traffic, and any unusual behaviors, such as improper parking, maintenance activities,vehicles circumventing barriers, and pedestrians crossing while barriers are down. This thorough monitoring provides valuable insights that enhance safety and operational efficiency at level crossings.
Traffic Gap Survey
In non-signalized intersections, such as "T" or four-arm intersections and roundabouts, the major stream typically has priority. Vehicles from the minor stream must slow down or stop to find a suitable gap in the major stream. Our survey measures these gaps to determine allowable wait times and assess intersection service levels. We evaluate how vehicle delays are influenced by gaps in both streams—small gaps in the major stream lead to longer delays for the minor stream, while small gaps in the minor stream can cause longer queues. This analysis provides valuable insights into when an intersection might require signal control to enhance service levels.
Illegal Movement Counts Analysis
we utilize video camera footage to monitor and report illegal traffic movements on specific roads over extended periods.
