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.
