It is designed with a high level of tactile and audible feedback so that the enumerator can use the device without looking at it. Most intersections, vehicle types and turning movements are accommodated.
The Interface rack charges all the loggers and ensures that the clocks are all synchronised. It is then used to transmit all the survey details to each logger. When the survey is complete, the rack is used to retrieve the data.
The software enables powerful analysis of; Passing counts, including flow rates by time, vehicle types or groups; Turning movement surveys and also origin and destination surveys.
