Manual traffic count support for Canada projects
Canadian traffic-data projects can require a scope that is clear for English- and French-language stakeholders. Terminology, classification and delivery conventions should be confirmed with the project team before observations begin.
This page describes remote project support and technical context for Canada; it does not state an office location or authority approval.
Canada project lens
Turn local context into a usable traffic-data brief.
A clear Canada study brief connects local terminology and conditions to an agreed method, quality review and practical output.
02
Set the method
Agree the terminology, language of deliverables, locations, movements, classes and time periods at project setup. Use a controlled data dictionary when more than one language is required.
03
Check the data
Quality checks should confirm that bilingual labels, tables and movement definitions remain consistent with the approved scope.
04
Share the output
Agree the spreadsheet, summary, visuals or supporting files your stakeholders need.
Local terminology and scope
Common terminology includes Traffic Count and Turning Movement Count. Agree the terminology, language of deliverables, locations, movements, classes and time periods at project setup. Use a controlled data dictionary when more than one language is required.
Common study and data considerations
Confirm whether English, French or bilingual field and reporting labels are required before production.
Keep movement codes and class definitions aligned across site plans, tables and any translated labels.
Survey applications
- intersection and turning-movement studies
- transportation planning
- pedestrian and cyclist observation
- traffic video analysis
Manual video-processing workflow
After the brief and source are reviewed, human analysts apply the approved location, movement, classification and interval rules. The data then passes scope, continuity, consistency and output checks before delivery. Recorded footage uses an approved secure-transfer route rather than the public enquiry form.
Deliverables for Canada project teams
Canadian project outputs can be prepared with an agreed bilingual data dictionary and consistent approach, movement, class and interval labels.
The final interval, movement, lane, class and summary structure follows the approved brief. A client template can be supported after its labels and rules are agreed; private templates and source files are never published.

Can outputs be prepared for bilingual project teams?
Yes. Required languages and terminology should be specified before reporting templates are created.
