Frequently asked questions

Answers for planning a traffic data project.

Start with the questions below, then use the enquiry workflow to turn your project context into a clear, reviewable brief.

Quality by design

Controls that make traffic evidence easier to trust.

The review trail stays visible: definitions, intervals, movements and exceptions are checked against the agreed specification.

What information is needed for a quote?

Share locations, study dates, service type, classes, intervals, movement requirements and required outputs. A short brief is enough to begin the scoping conversation.

Which traffic surveys can SWAT Alliance support?

Typical scopes include classified counts, turning movements, pedestrian and cyclist counts, parking observations, queue studies, origin-destination work and video-based analysis.

Can classification be customised?

Yes. Classes are agreed around the client brief, local authority requirements, country terminology and the quality of the source data.

What video is suitable for traffic analysis?

Footage should clearly show the agreed observation area, approaches and movements for the defined periods. Suitability is confirmed before processing.

How are large video files transferred?

Large video files should not be sent through a standard website form. An approved secure-transfer workflow can be agreed after initial scoping.

How is data quality checked?

Review checks focus on completeness, consistent class application, intervals, movements and adherence to the approved specification.

What deliverables can be provided?

Deliverables are agreed in the brief and may include spreadsheets, turning-movement summaries, time intervals, charts, methodology notes and a quality record.

Can you work from existing video?

Yes. Existing footage can be assessed for visibility, coverage, timing and suitability before analysis is scheduled.

Do you support international projects?

Yes. Country and language requirements are scoped with the project; the country directory helps align terminology before a request is submitted.

How long does a study take?

Timing depends on the number of sites, survey duration, footage volume, classification detail and reporting format. A confirmed programme follows scope review.

How should sensitive information be shared?

Use the enquiry form for project context only. Do not include passwords, private keys or unnecessary personal information; secure file transfer can be arranged separately.

What happens after I submit an enquiry?

The team reviews the brief, confirms any missing scope details and replies from the enquiry mailbox with the next practical step.
