Why Transportation Planners & Traffic Engineers Choose SnapCount

Purpose-built features for traffic analysis professionals

Real-Time Data Validation

Eliminate costly recounts caused by misaligned start/stop times or data entry errors between multiple field personnel. Supervisor sees the count live and can course-correct instantly.

Instant Vehicle Classification Reports

Automatically segment counts by vehicle type (passenger, bus, heavy truck) without manual post-processing of disparate tally sheets, accelerating your analysis timeline.

No Hardware Deployment Costs

Stop worrying about deploying, maintaining, or retrieving physical hardware like road tubes or mechanical boards. Start counting immediately using any standard smartphone or tablet.

The Problem & The Solution

The Costly Inaccuracy of Tally Sheets and Mechanical Boards

When your crew is spread across a complex intersection—one person handling through-traffic, another dedicated to the left-turn queue—the risk of data drift is immense. If the mechanical clicker jams during a critical peak hour, or if the handwritten tally sheet gets soaked in a sudden downpour, your entire Intersection Capacity Analysis (ICA) is invalidated. You spend hours aggregating data only to find discrepancies that require costly, time-consuming recounts. This manual process is slow, error-prone, and fundamentally unreliable for high-stakes infrastructure planning.

The reliance on legacy tools like pneumatic tubes adds unnecessary logistical complexity and vulnerability. Tubes are easily vandalized, moved by heavy trucks, or simply fail in extreme temperatures, resulting in missing or skewed Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) readings. Furthermore, manually transcribing data from a dozen different mechanical boards into a central spreadsheet introduces transcription errors, slowing down the final reporting phase and delaying critical funding proposals based on accurate vehicle classification data.

⚠️Stop relying on pneumatic tubes and mechanical boards and manual counting methods.

SnapCount: The Multiplayer Tally Counter for Transportation Planning

SnapCount transforms your data collection crew into a unified, real-time counting engine. Every click, whether classifying heavy trucks or logging through-vehicles, is instantly synchronized to a central dashboard accessible by the site supervisor or the analyst back at the office. This real-time validation eliminates data drift; if one counter misses a movement, the supervisor sees the anomaly immediately and can correct it, guaranteeing 100% accurate turning movement counts the first time.

By moving data collection entirely to the cloud, you eliminate hardware failure, transcription errors, and weather-related data loss. SnapCount provides a centralized, digital view of the Peak Flow Hour as it happens, allowing for immediate analysis and decision-making. Focus on the accuracy of your Vehicle Classification (VC) efforts rather than worrying about the integrity of aging mechanical equipment. Get instant, exportable reports ready for immediate integration into your planning software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using SnapCount for traffic analysis

How does SnapCount handle complex intersection geometries and multiple counters?

SnapCount allows you to define specific counting lanes or movement types (e.g., Northbound Left Turn) and assign them to individual crew members. All counts sync instantly to a master dashboard, ensuring data integrity across the entire intersection.

Can we integrate the raw data directly into our Intersection Capacity Analysis (ICA) software?

Absolutely. SnapCount provides clean, structured data exports (CSV, Excel, JSON) specifically formatted for easy import into common traffic modeling and ICA software, eliminating transcription errors.

What happens if a field crew member loses cellular service during a critical peak flow count?

SnapCount features a robust offline mode. Counts continue to be logged locally on the device and automatically sync the moment connectivity is restored, ensuring zero data loss during temporary service interruptions.

Does SnapCount replace automated pneumatic tubes or radar counters for AADT?

SnapCount is designed for accurate, detailed manual counts, especially where visual Vehicle Classification (VC) and specific turning movement segmentation are required. It complements, but does not replace, long-term automated machine counts.
