Our survey types
Parking Stress Surveys
Measures authorised spaces and peak-time occupancy around a site, showing parking availability in percentage terms when a development’s impact on local parking is assessed.
Parking Beat Survey
Repeat survey beats record occupancy, and optionally duration by vehicle registration, to show how parking is really used in an area, road or car park.
Parking Compliance Survey
Observes parked vehicles against your restrictions to measure compliance levels, helping explain hotspots caused by unclear signage or poorly communicated changes.
Parking Condition Survey
A visual assessment of your parking areas that reports hazards, damaged signs, lines, barriers, surfaces and machinery, with photographic evidence and recommendations.
Parking Capacity Survey
Assesses current capacity on-street and off-street and judges whether extra parking spaces are feasible, with a schedule for implementing the recommended changes.
Signs & Lines Survey
Reviews existing signs and lines against traffic orders and TSRGD standards, reporting maintenance levels and recommending changes with clear guidance on sign formats.
Electric Vehicle Survey
Counts eco-efficient vehicles parked in an area or car park over time, informing a judgement on whether electric charging points are needed.
ATC Survey
Rubber road tubes automatically record vehicle speed, classification, direction and traffic volume, typically over a full week, to support transport planning decisions.
Vehicle Exit & Entry Survey
Counts vehicles entering and leaving a site at set intervals across operating hours, revealing peak times and whether controls are needed to manage demand.
Queue Length Survey
Records vehicles at a standstill at junctions or between traffic lights to show congestion levels, supporting planning, development and temporary road works.
Unmet Demand Survey
Monitors taxi ranks, recording inbound and outbound taxis and their occupants, to evidence whether significant unmet demand exists under Section 16 of the 1985 Transport Act.
