Buckinghamshire-based 561 Traffic Technology has successfully retained its traffic data collection contract with West Berkshire District Council.

The company will carry out permanent traffic surveys from around thirty-three sites in West Berkshire, as well as ad hoc traffic and parking surveys, pedestrian crossing studies and journey time studies on behalf of the Council for the next two years, with an option to continue for a further two years.

Data from parking surveys is used to inform future parking strategies and to enable the council to set appropriate parking standards for new residential developments, while traffic data is used to help monitor air quality and traffic flows across the district.  Traffic surveys are also carried out to provide information on annual average daily traffic (AADT) flows for the Local Transport Plan.  Journey time studies provide data to enable the Council to make traffic management decisions to ease the flow of traffic in the area.
