What Classification Options are Provided in countCLOUD.pro?

countCLOUD.pro has been optimized to provide trail counts, volume only access counts, and five vehicle classification breakdowns. These include two-, three-, five-, six-, and 13-vehicle classifications.

Trail counts provide directional pedestrian and bicycle counts along a pathway at a specific point or turning movements for up to four approaches that intersect at a single point.

Volume only access counts provide single class, inbound and outbound volumes, at a intersection approach or development access.
