Job description:

In order to know the service levels of the main roads and the intersection traffic between them, countings was done in 7 points of the municipality and origin / destination interception surveys in 5 of them. The counting was conducted with video cameras allowing to differentiate all types of vehicles: heavy (truck and bus) and light (car, motorcycle and bicycle) and characterize the operation of traffic and quantify it, as well as obtain data on the characteristics of the operation of the intersection, allowing to measure parameters such as queue lengths, delays, vehicles in the queue … ensuring a correct knowledge of the level of service.

Field work was also carried out to characterize the pedestrian and cyclist demand, through countings and interviews to pedestrians and cyclists in high-density urban sections of pedestrians and bicycle users, or areas that are uniquely attractive for pedestrian and / or cyclist traffic.
