Cordon counts
Boundary crossing volumes aggregated by direction.
Services
Cordon Counts
Cordon counts measure traffic volume and composition at boundary points around a defined area, such as a city core or neighborhood. This service provides insight into entering and leaving movement patterns, transportation demand, and network-level traffic behavior.
Service objective
Measure traffic entering and leaving a defined area boundary to understand demand distribution and movement interaction.
Tooling stack
Manual count station teams
Automated sensors and cameras
ATR-enabled boundary points
Directional aggregation templates
Process sequence
Step 01
Study area and objective definition
Set the cordon boundary and target decisions such as commuting pattern analysis, congestion review, or policy evaluation.
Step 02
Cordon line selection
Choose entry and exit points that represent traffic crossing the area boundary.
Step 03
Directional collection
Record directional volumes at each cordon line, including classification where required.
Step 04
Aggregation and interpretation
Aggregate station data to interpret inbound and outbound patterns and identify planning implications.
