    Annual Traffic Counts Case Study

    Demonstration of the capability to execute large scale data collection projects.

    The State Government of Karnataka’s Road Authority(RA)conducts yearly traffic counts throughout the State of Karnataka. The surveys are undertaken to understand and forecast traffic growth, identify areas for road improvement, and make budget provisions for the coming financial year. Surveys are undertaken simultaneously at 2847 sites across the state for a continuous 48-hour period.

    The challenging requirements prompted the Road Authority to appoint a company with sufficient resources, capability, experience, and knowledge at all levels, to successfully deliver a project of this size. DataCorp(DC) was commissioned to undertake the mammoth task of collecting traffic data at 2847 sites simultaneously for 2 days, processing, analysing, and delivering the Report within 2 weeks of onsite data collection.
