Need for Traffic Volume Count Survey

Traffic Volume Survey is an essential part of Town Planning, especially for a town planner. It includes counting the number of vehicles passing through a survey station. The study of Classified Traffic Volume Count is to understand factors that form the basis of:

• Checking the efficiency/saturation of the road network by comparing current traffic volume with the calculated capacity or by identifying the level of service
• Establishing the use of the road network by vehicles of different categories, traffic distribution, PCU/vehicle value
• Need of median shifting or road widening

Purpose of Traffic Volume Count

The purpose of the classified traffic volume count is to draw inferences based on the data collected, to provide possible solutions and improvement suggestions for the problem identified. The objectives covered in it includes identifying the hourly distribution of vehicles and peak hour, identify the level of service and compare modal composition on the different hierarchy of roads. Some of the reasons for TVC are

• Increase the efficiency and life of roads
• Reduces traffic volume at a particular section
• Provide better means for the development of infrastructures
• Provide better means to utilize other roads in case of special events in the city
• Provide an estimate of no vehicles against no of persons

Traffic Volume Survey can be done manually or by use of automatic methods depending upon various factors like manpower available, budget, technology/instrument available, the magnitude of traffic data required.
