How to Validate Video Detection Accuracy on Roads
A video detector can appear to perform well while still creating poor operational outcomes. A missed cyclist at a side-road stop line, a false call from headlight reflections, or a late-moving queue can each affect safety and junction efficiency. To validate video...
How to Improve Traffic Signal Detection on Urban Networks
A signal stage that calls too late, fails to extend, or overlooks a cyclist can quickly become a network problem. Knowing how to improve traffic signal detection means looking beyond the detector itself: the approach geometry, user mix, controller logic,...
How to Install Above Ground Traffic Sensors
A detector installation can be technically correct yet operationally poor if the sensor is aimed at the wrong detection zone, mounted on an unstable pole, or configured without reference to the junction strategy. Knowing how to install above ground traffic sensors...
A Practical Guide to Traffic Counter Classifiers
A traffic count that records only a total flow can indicate pressure on a route. A count that distinguishes cars, vans, buses, articulated lorries, motorcycles and cycles can explain that pressure and support a defensible response. This guide to traffic counter...
