Features include:

• 24/7 traffic count monitoring
• Real time polling for IP and phone based counters
  • Canoga, Culway, Tirtl, Tirtlnet, Hitrac, ECM Hestia, Viper, FTP, sFTP, Peek ADR, Peek WIM, Snaps, Wavetronix, Q-free EMU
• Equipment failure alerts and active alarm counts
• Web Feature Service  (WFS) for seamless display of traffic count devices in your favorite GIS application
• Historical trend reports
• Managed user groups

Traffic Server is used by many departments of Transportation for their data collection, quality control and federal reporting requirements.

It contains a comprehensive suite of features that allows you to faithfully follow the recommended procedures of the FHWA Traffic Monitoring Guide and fulfill your reporting obligations to federal, state and local stakeholders. A summary of its features includes:

• A Comprehensive Station Management Model based on Station Groups and spatially aware data
• An Automatic Raw Data Loader with dozens of supported native file formats
• A Real Time Polling Service (RTPS) that communicates with multiple device protocols
• Configurable Data Quality Control Functions
• Built-in integration with ESRI ArcGIS maps and components including Roads and Highways Roadway Characteristics Editor
• A SQL database server which includes storage of per-vehicle data
• A Mobile Field Team App that extends connectivity to field crews
• Built-in support for Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle databases
• Computation of Annual Statistics according to the Traffic Monitoring Guide (TMG) recommended processes and AASHTO formulas
• Simple and intuitive user interface tools for traffic data investigation and studies
• Report components that let you explore data, like the Data Drill, the Station Finder and the Data Grid
• A User Management system integrated with LDAP services like Active Directory, and fine grained control of traffic business data and operations
• System Monitoring and Maintenance including log files, an Activity Monitor, and a powerful Platform Administration Utility (PAU)
• Uplink, a desktop application which provides the convenience of uploading a large number of files into Traffic Server
• Built-in integration with the GEOCOUNTS Cloud service

GEOCOUNTS^® Projects supports multi-agency traffic data collection, quality control and publishing efforts. It was previously a component of Traffic Server, called the “public count database”. It has since been restructured and re-branded to run on its own web server, outside of the Traffic Server application. This is a choice to support runtime scalability, feature expansion, data sharing and integration with non-DOT applications (i.e. open data initiatives), and security. GEOCOUNTS^® is built to serve data cleanly into ArcGIS Online as well as combine information from ArcGIS REST services. It delivers information to the public according to rules of release that the DOT can control. The GEOCOUNTS^® API also enables software developers to write applications to be hosted internally at GEOCOUNTS.com or via an external server.

Product Comparison

Transmetric developed the GEOCOUNTS^(R) File Format to address the challenges faced by travel monitoring agencies working with different file types from multiple equipment and vendors.

By implementing this format, data is guaranteed to be compatible with Traffic Server, the GEOCOUNTS cloud service, and any other application implementing the standard GEOCOUNTS format.

Features of the format include:

• Easy to understand and implement
• Encompasses any type of stationary monitoring equipment including permanent traffic counters, short term counters, turning movement counters, WIM systems, pedestrian counters, bike counters, and similar devices which capture multiple object attributes.
• Captures both metadata and counted data in a single file without the need to split different record types into separate files.
• Separates the concepts of ‘lanes’ which motorists use to align themselves on roads, and data ‘channels’ which is how fixed counting devices organize data spatially
• Ensures backward and forward compatibility

Transmetric’s Real Time Polling System (RTPS) offers a cost effective way of managing the frequent and regular acquisition of data from permanent AVC/WIM counting stations. RTPS contacts automatic traffic counters in the field and polls data files reliably each night into Traffic Server for QC.Upon completion, the data can then be sent to GEOCOUNTS for public consumption. Uplink is also available for the agency data collection partners and field technicians to help them deliver thousands of traffic data files into GEOCOUNTS from short term count station .

There are several other US DOT’s that use the accompanying cloud server (Transmetric Polling Service) to monitor and collect data daily for Quality Control and reporting purposes (Georgia DOT, Louisiana DOT, and West Virginia DOT) as well as other large non-US DOT’s in the world (Australia). The accompanying cloud-based polling service allows an organization to utilize the vastly scalable architecture created to collect data from over 50 different polling devices offered in the market. It has been created to decode virtually any type of file produced from the Automatic Data Recorders (ADR’s) to include BIN, PRN, TXT, etc., making it the most reliable and robust Polling-system in our industry.

Uplink can be used by any type of user who wants to submit data safely and reliably. This type of user may include:

• Data Collection Contractors
• Internal Field Technicians
• Other Partnering Jurisdictions, such as MPOs

Features:

• It connects to a Traffic Server data source (described earlier in this proposal)
• Transmit a batch of raw data files directly into the server
• Warn if a raw file exists
• Log each transmission attempt
• Email the data source owner when a batch of new data has been submitted and is ready for analysis

Uplink is free for field teams to use and can be downloaded using the link below.
