Traffic Data Collection
A project cannot be properly designed without accurate traffic data. French Engineering has been successfully collecting traffic data for over 14 years. The key to traffic data collection is not only quality, it is also collecting the right data for the right project. Our engineers directly oversee each and every project and should our clients need assistance, we have the expertise to guide them on the type and quantity of traffic data needed.
In terms of quality, we typically use long-term, experienced technicians trained in proper equipment set up and manual counting. We have developed an observation form for queue monitoring, traffic signal equipment operation and safety reporting that our technicians use to supplement their manual turning movement count effort and provide our clients with additional data. For flexibility and value, we use in-house equipment.
In-house equipment:
- Video cameras (10)
- Automatic Traffic Recorders (ATR) (8)
- Turning Movement Count (TMC) boards (9)
- JAMAR Black Cat II Radar
- Manual Speed Radar Detector
