This forum will discuss the use of Automatic Traffic Classifier data loggers including why they are used so widely, how they work, the methods for installing axle sensors and the various configurations that can be used to ensure the efficient collection of consistent data whilst minimising the likelihood of introducing errors due to the site set-up. The OH&S issues associated with the installations will also be discussed.
The discussion will centre on the methods for installing axle sensors and the various configurations that can be used to ensure the efficient collection of consistent data whilst minimising the likelihood of introducing errors due to the site set-up.
The design of the site installation should also be undertaken to minimise the risks to survey staff, some configurations of site installation that aim to achieve this will also be discussed.
Travel Time Surveys: The application of GPS technology to the collection of travel time data using the floating car method.
Video Surveys: Latest developments in the use of video cameras for the collection and automatic counting of intersection surveys.
