All Types of Services in Traffic Video Extraction and Studies by Traffic Data Count

At Traffic Data Count, we specialize in extracting actionable data from traffic videos—accurately, efficiently, and in a format tailored to support traffic engineers, consultants, government agencies, and urban planners. Our team is trained to handle a variety of road conditions, vehicle classes, and study types—especially in dense, mixed-traffic environments like India.

This blog gives you a complete overview of all the traffic video extraction and study services we offer, so you can confidently choose the right solution for your project.

Why Use Traffic Video Extraction?

Video-based data extraction is non-intrusive, reusable, and rich in detail. It allows analysis of not just traffic volumes but also movement patterns, behaviors, delays, and bottlenecks.

Whether it’s a short 2-hour survey or a continuous 48-hour intersection study, our trained analysts extract detailed datasets with maximum accuracy—even from high-flow sites with over 2000 vehicles per 15-minute interval.

 

1. Turning Movement Counts (TMC)

We extract detailed left, right, and through movements at signalized or unsignalized intersections. Data can be provided in 15-minute, hourly, or custom intervals.

Includes:

  • Approach-wise and movement-wise counts

  • Lane-wise analysis (if required)

  • Support for 7 to 12 vehicle classifications

  • AM, PM, or full-day formats

Application: Signal timing optimization, intersection design, traffic impact studies.

 

2. Vehicle Classification Surveys

Our team classifies vehicles into user-defined groups such as:

  • Two-wheelers

  • Cars

  • Auto-rickshaws

  • LCVs

  • Buses

  • Trucks

  • MAVs

  • Agricultural or construction vehicles

We follow local and international classification schemes and customize them per project.

Application: Road design, pavement analysis, freight corridor planning.

 

3. Queue Length Analysis

From the video footage, we measure:

  • Maximum queue lengths

  • Average queue per cycle

  • Clearance times

  • Queue spillback into upstream approaches

  • 95th percentile queue (on request)

Application: Signal redesign, lane extension studies, congestion mitigation.

 

4. Pedestrian & Cyclist Volume Studies

We manually count:

  • Pedestrian crossings (zebra or informal)

  • Sidewalk usage

  • Bicycle movements

  • Conflicts with vehicles

We use frame-by-frame validation for peak-hour pedestrian-heavy locations.

Application: Safety audits, pedestrian facility planning, shared mobility studies.

 

5. Gap Analysis

Gap analysis determines:

  • Number and duration of safe gaps available

  • Driver or pedestrian acceptance of gaps

  • Conflicts during gap usage

Application: Unsignalized intersection studies, pedestrian crossing design, minor road priority checks.

 

6. Speed and Headway Studies

Using time-stamped frames, we calculate:

  • Speed of individual vehicles

  • Time headway between consecutive vehicles

  • Classification-wise average speeds

  • Speed trends per lane

Application: Road safety audits, signal coordination, overtaking behavior studies.

 

7. Conflict and Safety Analysis

We extract:

  • Instances of vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-pedestrian conflict

  • Lane changing or weaving behaviors

  • Red light violations or near misses

  • Unsafe crossings or signal jumping

Application: Road safety evaluation, blackspot identification, intersection redesigns.

 

8. Heavy Traffic Site Studies

At high-volume intersections with 2000+ vehicles every 15 minutes, we use:

  • Multi-tiered analyst review

  • Segmented counting (by lane or direction)

  • Pre-formatted templates for efficiency

  • Continuous QA checkpoints

Application: Metro corridor studies, urban mobility planning, highway bottleneck assessment.

 

9. Midblock Volume Studies

We extract vehicle counts and classifications along road segments without intersections, often for capacity or encroachment studies.

Application: Road widening projects, shoulder usage analysis, commercial activity assessment.

 

10. Parking Demand Studies (On-Street and Off-Street)

From video footage, we count:

  • Parking occupancy

  • Turnover rates

  • Duration of stay

  • Entry-exit movement for lots

Application: Smart parking projects, pricing analysis, parking facility planning.

 

11. Walkability and Footpath Usage Study

By extracting footage of pedestrian activity, we analyze:

  • Footpath usage vs. walking on carriageway

  • Obstructions or encroachments

  • Need for crossings or refuge islands

Application: Pedestrian planning, NMT (non-motorized transport) upgrades.

 

12. Custom Video Studies

We also support custom studies based on:

  • Toll booth operation

  • Public transport boarding/alighting

  • School zone safety

  • Work zone traffic impacts

  • Behavior at roundabouts or diverging junctions

Just share the objective, and we will deliver customized data outputs based on your need.
