Vehicle Type Counting
Each vehicle classified and counted by type — cars, trucks, buses, bikes, and motorbikes tallied separately across every camera, summed into one traffic mix report for the whole site or corridor.
A raw traffic count tells you how busy you are. Clear Watch Vehicle Type Counting tells you what that traffic is made of — cars, trucks, buses, bikes, and motorbikes, each counted separately.
Vehicle Type Counting classifies each passing vehicle and counts it by type: cars, trucks, buses, bikes, and motorbikes each get their own tally. Counts from multiple camera channels can be summed, so an intersection with four approaches or a site with several entrances is reported as a single figure broken down by vehicle type — the traffic mix of an entire location in one view.
Counting lines and target types are configured per channel, so each camera counts exactly what matters at its location: trucks and buses at the freight gate, bikes and motorbikes on the shared path, everything at the main intersection. Totals accumulate over the reporting period, turning your cameras into a continuous classified traffic study instead of a one-week snapshot from rented tube counters.
What It Does
Who Uses It
Municipalities & Transportation Planners
Truck percentages drive pavement wear, noise complaints, and route restrictions. Continuous type-classified counts show exactly how much heavy traffic uses each corridor — evidence for enforcement and planning.
- Continuous heavy vehicle counts by corridor — no periodic studies, no manual tallies
- Type-classified data supports route restriction enforcement and pavement planning
- Documented counts available for grant applications and public reporting
Logistics Yards & Distribution Centers
Count trucks separately from employee cars to get a true throughput figure at the gate, and see how much passenger traffic mixes into lanes meant for freight.
- Trucks and passenger vehicles counted separately for accurate throughput reporting
- Passenger traffic in freight lanes flagged — data to support lane redesign or policy enforcement
- Continuous gate counts feed operations dashboards and shift reporting
Parking Operators
Know how many motorbikes and oversized vehicles use a facility designed around standard cars — data that shapes layout changes, dedicated zones, and rate structures.
- Motorbike and oversized vehicle counts separate from standard car volume
- Type mix data supports dedicated zone planning and rate structure decisions
- Continuous counts by type replace manual surveys and periodic audits
Campuses & Business Parks
Quantify the mix of cars, delivery trucks, buses, and bikes at every entrance to plan shuttle service, bike infrastructure, and delivery windows on real numbers.
- Type breakdown per entrance — cars, trucks, buses, and bikes counted separately
- Bike and bus volumes support infrastructure investment decisions with real data
- Delivery truck counts by time of day shape window policies and loading dock planning
Toll, Bridge & Road Operators
Vehicle class is the billing and planning unit. Camera-based type counts across multiple lanes roll up into one classified volume figure without in-road sensors.
- Multi-lane type counts aggregated into one classified volume figure per period
- No in-road sensors required — existing camera infrastructure does the work
- Class-level data supports billing reconciliation, capacity planning, and regulatory reporting
How It Works
Vehicle Type Counting runs on the same monitored Clear Watch cameras that secure your site — intelligence during the day, security after hours. Classified counts accumulate into the reports your planners and operators work from, while the same camera views remain part of Clear Watch's 24/7 monitored protection. You get a permanent, always-on traffic study out of infrastructure you already justified for security.
FAQs
-
Cars, trucks, buses, bikes, and motorbikes are counted separately by type. Target types are configured per channel, so each camera can count all types or only the ones relevant to its location.
-
Yes. Counts from multiple channels are summed, so an intersection or a site with several entrances is reported as a single figure broken down by vehicle type.
-
Plain counting gives you total volume. Type counting breaks that volume into cars, trucks, buses, bikes, and motorbikes — the difference between knowing a road is busy and knowing it carries the heavy traffic that wears it out.
