Frame the context
Use Traffic Survey and Traffic Count and local road context to describe the question clearly.

Manual traffic count support for Ireland projects
Traffic-survey work in Ireland benefits from a clear statement of the road-user movements, classifications, observation periods and delivery requirements relevant to the project decision.
This page describes remote project support and technical context for Ireland; it does not state an office location or authority approval.
Ireland project lens
Turn local context into a usable traffic-data brief.
A clear Ireland study brief connects local terminology and conditions to an agreed method, quality review and practical output.
02
Set the method
Document the site layout and survey rules before observation, especially where movements, active travel or peak periods need separate treatment.
03
Check the data
Apply a consistent check of location coverage, movement definitions, class coding and interval completeness before delivery.
04
Share the output
Agree the spreadsheet, summary, visuals or supporting files your stakeholders need.
Local terminology and scope
Common terminology includes Traffic Survey and Traffic Count. Document the site layout and survey rules before observation, especially where movements, active travel or peak periods need separate treatment.
Common study and data considerations
Separate vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist observation rules where an Irish project combines modes.
Document whether parking, queue or access observations use event-based or interval-based recording.
Survey applications
- traffic and junction assessment
- access and development planning
- pedestrian and cyclist evidence
- parking and queue observation
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 Ireland project teams
Irish project tables can align with the planning or engineering submission structure once locations, modes, intervals and class labels are agreed.
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 the data structure be matched to a planning submission?
Yes. Required tables, intervals and classification outputs should be agreed in the brief.
