Traffic count and classification surveys involve determining the number of vehicles for a particular vehicle classification type. Classification categories may be as simple as 'car' and 'truck' or extend up to the full 12 Austroads classifications.
Data is typically collated into 15 min blocks for reporting purposes, but this can be customised to suit your individual requirements. Trucks can be further classified into their hazardous goods carry code and other vehicles can be classified based on their public transport functionality.
Reporting needs may also require further breakdown of the Austroads classifications such as splits of Austroads classes 1-3 into limousine; hire car; taxi; car derivative used for commercial purposes; car with trailer (1, 2 or 3 axles).
Data collection techniques may include:
- Data loggers
- Video Camera
- Manual field observation
