Intersection Counts and Turning Movement Counts

Intersection count is a type of traffic surveys where we need to count the vehicles, cycles, pedestrians, which is conveyed in a particular road, path or intersection. The main purpose is to optimize the counts of vehicle movements through an intersection during certain time periods. So our intersection count study enumerates number of left-turn, right-turn, u-turn and through movements for each approach. This is also known as the turning movement count.

So to calibrate the movement of vehicles through the area, intersection count is needed for this. Also intersection can include queue and delay data capture, pedestrian and a range of other user-specified information. It is better to say that to calculate the total vehicles according to the classifications, as well as pedestrian, cycles turning movement, Intersection Count is sketched. So for manual counting several observers will be necessary to perform Turning Movement Counts at signalized intersections. But in case of Non-signalized intersections will typically require fewer resources.

Purpose of intersection counts:
During certain time periods, The goal of the Intersection Turning Movement Counts is to resume the counts of vehicle movements through an intersection. This type of volume compact is used in making decisions regarding the geometric design of the roadway, sign and signal installation, signal timing, pavement marking, traffic circulation patterns, capacity analysis, parking and loading zones, and vehicle classification.

The intersection count is measured at the intersection and it is useful in planning turn prohibitions, designing channelization, computing capacity, analyzing high accident intersections etc.

This data is used in making decisions at a planning-level for example traffic impact analyses, as well as operational analyses-level for example signal installation and timing .

Also, the ambition of the intersection turning movement survey to detail features on mortal arms and assess the traffic flow at the intersection. For the preparation of geometric betterment plans for the critical intersection under the immediate improvement plan and short term measure data collected from these surveys is used.

For timing traffic signals, designing channelization, planning turn prohibitions, computing capacity, analyzing high crash intersections, and evaluating congestion the traffic data collected by an intersection count are usually used.
