Providing the most accurate and reliable data

As a result of these developments, they are used more frequently as a vital tool for capturing real-time information on traffic patterns, parking utilisation, pedestrian movement, and much more.

The Advantages of Video Traffic Surveys

Video traffic surveys offer several key benefits that make them a preferred choice over traditional data collection methods:

Accuracy and Precision – Video surveys provide highly accurate data. With advanced technology from Paul Castle Associates, we can track both vehicle and pedestrian movements with exceptional precision. This helps ensure the data gathered is both reliable and actionable, which is critical for making informed decisions.

Efficiency – Unlike manual surveys that require human presence and can be time-consuming, video traffic surveys are efficient and can be set up quickly. They capture continuous footage for extended periods, reducing the need for repeated site visits.

Detailed Data and Analytics – Video footage provides a comprehensive view of traffic flow, parking usage, pedestrian movement, and more. This detailed data collection, along with our advanced software, means we can also provide intricate data analysis. 

Minimal Disruption – Video traffic surveys are non-intrusive, as cameras can be placed in locations where they do not disrupt traffic flow. They can be mounted on poles, rooftops, or other high vantage points, enabling continuous data capture without the need for personnel to be on-site.

Different Types of Video Surveys

There are several different types of video traffic surveys, each suited to applications. The options include both stationary and mobile implementation, with some providing more detailed views of traffic and parking patterns than others.
