How Traffic Video Data can help in Transportation Planning

Now a day we are suffering a lot from traffic. To solve or to come out of this we need some traffic analysis. By the data we can think over the problem. We can implement what is required to that particular location. To check either a roundabout or an intersection works better in that region. It also helps to identify in which time period vehicle or pedestrian flow will be high. By that we can think over the construction of road, maintenance of road and economic length.

Pedestrian Count:

In this we are counting people once they cross the road. It is useful to know existing pedestrian, to know high flow of people at certain timing. By this we can think about more planning of future walkway investments and facilities.

Bicycle Count:

It is required to estimate the number of bicycle activity so that we can build a separate road for bicycle if counts are more.

Road Volume Count:

The data measures the entire vehicle volume over 24- hour, 48-hour and 7 day time periods. Road volume counts are fetched to define the number, moments and classification of vehicle at a given location. Data helps to know the critical flow timings, flow of large vehicle or pedestrian in vehicular flow.

Parking Survey:

Parking is one of main problem now a day. By transport development this problem created. Parking surveys are conducted to collect how many vehicles coming IN or OUT at particular location. By this we can think about the problems and solve. Example: extending parking area or angle of parking.

Punctuality Surveys:

Using this survey we can know the stay duration, arrival time, departure time of rail & bus. It gives complete detail of passengers entering or exiting a bus stand or railway station. Using manual videos we can monitor the queue at ticketing office. Using the survey we can solve the problems that occur in bus stand and railway stations.

Queue Length Survey:  

We can obtain data by manually or using digital recording machine. Queues are counted either in vehicle distance or counted in time intervals like 15 minutes. It is useful to know the capacity.

Traffic Violations:

By this we can report opposite driving, signal jump, queue in back, U turns, vehicle near miss, without zebra cross pads crossing, no parking, overtaking, etc. By data police can take action against this and control accidents.

Automatic number plate recognition:

It is a technology used to read the vehicles number plate. It helps to detect registration number of vehicles.
