Manual traffic count support for Netherlands projects

Projects in the Netherlands can use terms such as verkeersonderzoek, verkeerstelling and verkeersanalyse. A scope should make the intended terminology and treatment of cycling, pedestrian and vehicle movements explicit.

This page describes remote project support and technical context for Netherlands; it does not state an office location or authority approval.

Netherlands project lens

Turn local context into a usable traffic-data brief.

A clear Netherlands study brief connects local terminology and conditions to an agreed method, quality review and practical output.

01

Frame the context

Use Verkeersonderzoek, Verkeerstelling and Verkeersanalyse and local road context to describe the question clearly.

02

Set the method

Agree Dutch or English terminology, active-travel movement definitions, vehicle classes and intervals before collection. Video suitability should be checked against the selected observation area.

03

Check the data

Review terms, movement matrices, active-travel coding and interval totals before publishing the final tables.

04

Share the output

Agree the spreadsheet, summary, visuals or supporting files your stakeholders need.

Local terminology and scope

Common terminology includes Verkeersonderzoek, Verkeerstelling and Verkeersanalyse. Agree Dutch or English terminology, active-travel movement definitions, vehicle classes and intervals before collection. Video suitability should be checked against the selected observation area.

Common study and data considerations

Use terms such as verkeerstelling or verkeersonderzoek only where they match the client’s intended study, and keep Dutch and English labels controlled.

Cycling directions, routes and crossing movements should be defined separately from motor-vehicle movements when required.

Survey applications

  • cycle and pedestrian studies
  • intersection and roundabout analysis
  • parking studies
  • 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 Netherlands project teams

Netherlands project outputs can combine Dutch or English labels with vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, parking or junction tables defined by the brief.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can cycling movements be reported separately?

Yes. Direction, route, crossing and interval requirements should be included in the survey specification.
