How Traffic Engineers and Planners Use Traffic Data Count for Effective Planning

Accurate traffic data forms the backbone of effective urban planning and traffic engineering. Planners, consultants, and traffic engineers require granular, timely, and verified traffic data for developing smart infrastructure solutions. Traffic Data Count provides precisely that—reliable traffic video analysis to support engineering design, policy planning, and mobility management.

Who Uses the Data?

  • Traffic Engineers

  • Urban Transport Consultants

  • Infrastructure Planning Firms

  • Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)

  • Private Infra Developers

  • Government Agencies

Applications in Planning

1. Signal Timing and Optimization

  • Data such as turning movement counts, vehicle classes, and peak hour volumes help in designing optimized signal phases and green times.

  • Queue length and delay analysis further improve intersection performance.

2. Corridor Improvement Plans (CIP)

  • Midblock counts, pedestrian counts, and conflict zones are studied for corridor-wide improvement plans.

  • Helps in planning bus bays, junction redesigns, and pedestrian crossings.

3. Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)

  • Developers and consultants use traffic volume data to model impact of new developments on existing infrastructure.

  • Simulation inputs using VISSIM or SIDRA rely heavily on accurate classified volume data.

4. Urban Mobility and Master Planning

  • Data feeds into master plans, mobility models, and public transport route rationalization.

  • Traffic Data Count helps establish baseline demand and evaluate future scenarios.


How Traffic Data Count Adds Value

  • Customized Study Formats: TMCs, vehicle classification, queue length, pedestrian counts, all as per client requirements.

  • Quick Turnaround: Deadlines aligned with tender or project submission timelines.

  • Verified Accuracy: Multi-tier QC process assures 95–99% accuracy across segments.

  • Flexible Reporting: Excel formats, hourly splits, visual diagrams, charts, and summaries.

Client Use Case

  • Project: TIA for a mixed-use township project

  • Data Provided: 12-hour TMCs across 5 intersections, queue lengths, pedestrian volume

  • Use: Synchro-based intersection analysis and signal proposal

  • Outcome: Approved design plan with minimal rework during DPR submission

Conclusion

Traffic Data Count serves as a critical partner for planners and engineers by delivering trustworthy data that powers decisions across project stages—from feasibility studies to execution. The insights drawn from these traffic studies ensure better designs, safer roads, and efficient traffic systems.
