TURNING MOVEMENT COUNTS

Accurate intersection data - collected safely, processed carefully, and delivered in the formats your project requires.

 

Imperial Traffic & Data Collection has completed more than 10,000 turning movement counts at signalized and stop-controlled intersections, roundabouts, complex corridors, rural roadways, and neighborhood streets throughout the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. 

 

What we collect

• Vehicle turning movements in 15-minute intervals

• Pedestrians and bicyclists

• Standard or premium vehicle classification

• Heavy vehicles and peak-hour summaries

• Peak-hour factors

• Right turns on red

• On-road bicycle and micromobility activity

• Custom classifications, including scooters, transit vehicles, buggies, or other project-specific categories

 

Why work with ITDC

• More than 10,000 TMCs completed

• Experienced, IMSA-certified field personnel

• Careful scheduling around schools, seasonal activity, special events, and weather

• Remote equipment and recording verification

• In-house QA/QC and video spot checks

• Consistent data collection across corridors and project areas

• Flexible classifications and deliverable formats

• Raw video availability for additional review or future analysis

 

Our process

1. Plan – We review the locations, study purpose, schedule, classifications, and deliverable requirements.

2. Deploy – Trained field technicians safely install video collection equipment.

3. Verify – Camera views, recording times, battery life, storage, and equipment status are checked.

4. Process and Review – Counts are processed and reviewed for completeness, orientation, classification, and accuracy.

5. Deliver – Data, reports, platform access, and requested video files are provided to the project team.
