Types of Traffic Surveys Tailored to Every Project

MetroCount provides a wide range of traffic surveys, including vehicle counts, speed monitoring, parking studies, and pedestrian and cyclist surveys. Using automatic traffic counters, video technology, and manual data collection, we deliver accurate data for individual sites, complex junctions, and large-scale transport networks.

Traffic Survey Technologies

Video Camera & Multi-Modal Traffic Surveys

Using high-definition CCTV systems, our manual classified count video surveys capture continuous footage of road user behaviour. The recordings are reviewed and coded to produce accurate, verifiable datasets covering a wide range of metrics, including turning and link counts, pedestrian movements, queue lengths, and saturation flow. From the same deployment, we can also analyse parking activity, journey times, and active travel patterns.


From single intersections to large-scale, multi-site projects, our video surveys provide accurate, reliable data for transport planning, providing a complete picture of how people and vehicles interact across the network.

Manual Classified Counts

Automatic Traffic Data Collection (ATC Surveys)

As the global leader in automatic traffic monitoring, MetroCount delivers thousands of ATC surveys each year using our industry-leading RoadPod® systems. 

Our experienced teams handle every stage of project delivery, from site selection and installation to ongoing monitoring and data validation. 

Each deployment provides precise vehicle counts, speeds, and classifications, helping clients assess road performance, model traffic demand, and inform planning and safety decisions across the UK and NL.
