TRAFFIC TURNING MOVEMENT COUNT SERVICE BUSINESS PLAN
Â
I. Executive Summary
Company Description
Based in a major U.S. technology hub, the company provides precise traffic and mobility counts for intersections to municipal planners, civil engineers, and real estate developers. Our core offering combines LiDAR, thermal sensors, and high-resolution cameras to deliver granular turning movement counts, peak-period flow analysis, and vehicle-pedestrian-bicycle separation. We supply time-stamped, calibrated datasets plus turnkey reports and CAD-ready exports. One-liner: we turn raw sensor feeds into actionable intersection insights.
Operations include field deployment of a sensor fleet, automated data fusion, quality-control analytics, and client delivery via secure dashboards and file exports. The business targets mid-to-large municipal agencies and design firms in urban and suburban markets. Short-term goal: establish three regional contracts and standardize a 48–72 hour delivery SLA. Long-term goal: national presence by 2030 with scalable fleet operations and enterprise integrations. One-liner: scale reliably while keeping data accuracy above industry benchmarks.
Â
Problem
Urban planners, civil engineers, and real estate developers lack timely, high-accuracy traffic and multimodal counts for intersections. Current methods are slow, costly, and incomplete, producing unreliable data that increases design uncertainty, causes project delays, and raises financial risk for site selection.
There is no widely available service that provides on-demand, simultaneous counts of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists with the granularity needed for modern design and operational decisions. Existing solutions fail to deliver rapid-turnaround, high-accuracy data across modes, leaving stakeholders to make high-stakes choices with outdated information.
One line: Stakeholders lose time and money because current traffic counts are slow, costly, and incomplete.
Â
Solution
Urban planners, engineers, and developers lack timely, accurate multimodal traffic data because manual counts are slow, costly, and error-prone. Our service replaces manual methods with a high-tech data product that delivers rapid, highly accurate intersection counts and turning-movement analysis for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists using sensor fusion, video analytics, and cloud AI.
One-liner: Rapid, highly accurate intersection counts and turning-movement analysis powered by sensors, video analytics, and cloud AI.
Â
Mission Statement
We empower engineers, planners, and developers with the precise data they need to build smarter, safer, and more efficient communities across the United States. We deliver the highest level of accuracy and the fastest turnaround in traffic data through continuous innovation in sensor technology and analytics, so cities can make better decisions for a more sustainable infrastructure future.
