Traffic Count & Traffic Analysis

See the bottleneck, not only the queue

Aerial observation of intersections and corridors, turned into counts, density maps, and movement analysis that show where traffic accumulates and why.

Overview

Spatial evidence for a traffic question

Ground counts struggle to show how a queue at one approach creates the failure at the next. Shamal captures high-resolution aerial video of intersections and corridors, then uses geospatial analysis to map density, congestion hotspots, and drops in speed.

The result is a picture of movement, not a single total: where vehicles accumulate, how the peak behaves, and which point in the junction is driving the delay. That is the evidence traffic engineers use to test a cause before they change the layout.

Benefits

Service Benefits

What you gain when Shamal plans, flies, and delivers the work

The whole junction in one view
Every approach recorded together, so the interaction between movements is visible.
Counts with a location
Volumes and accumulation placed in space, not only written as a table of totals.
Congestion traced to a cause
Density and speed patterns show the hotspot and the movement that feeds it.
Less time on the roadside
Aerial capture covers a complex intersection in the time a ground crew spends on one approach.
Peak-hour behaviour
Video timed to the peak so the analysis matches the period that actually fails.
Evidence for design decisions
Maps and clips a traffic engineer can use in a study, a meeting, or a before-and-after check.
Use Cases

Applications

Where this service is applied across projects in Saudi Arabia

Critical intersections
Find which movement, queue, or conflict is creating the delay at a failing junction.
Corridor studies
See how congestion cascades from one node to the next along a route.
Before-and-after assessment
Repeat the same aerial method after a signal, layout, or management change.
Event and peak demand
Capture a known peak — a workday rush or a venue outflow — with full spatial coverage.
Urban planning evidence
Movement patterns for teams testing access, circulation, and network changes.
Safety and conflict review
Video evidence of how streams interact where a count alone does not explain the risk.
Technology

Technologies Used

Aircraft, sensors, and processing methods behind the deliverable

Aerial traffic video
High-resolution overhead capture of density, queues, and turning movements.
Geospatial density maps
Heatmaps that locate accumulation instead of averaging it away.
Speed and hotspot analysis
Where velocity drops, and which approach is feeding the delay.
Movement counts
Classified observation of how volume is distributed across the junction.
Repeatable flight windows
The same overhead view timed to comparable peaks for before-and-after studies.
Engineering-ready packs
Maps, clips, and a written reading of what the peak actually did.
