Vehicle classification counts, boarding & alighting, origin-destination and demand studies — with auditable methodology and 1% average count error. For municipalities, operators, consulting firms and lenders.
Every Comtacti mobility survey is designed to produce data that withstands challenge — from regulatory bodies, technical committees of financed projects and external auditors. Triple-check on counts, per-site team log, independent recount available.
Survey of traffic volume and composition by vehicle category — motorcycles, cars, light trucks, semi-trailers, buses and others — at fixed or itinerant count stations.
Survey of passenger boarding and alighting by line, stop and time period — for route planning, fleet adjustment, saturation analysis and tariff studies.
Comtacti conducts O/D surveys in two formats: household-based — capturing people's mobility behaviour across the city, zone by zone — and at strategic points such as terminals, corridors and high-demand intersections.
Comtacti conducts complementary surveys for urban mobility studies, including speed and travel time, stated preference, vehicle occupancy and intersection studies.
Vehicle counts are frequently challenged in regulatory processes, bids and tariff reviews. Comtacti's methodology is designed so that every number delivered is defensible.
The counting process has 3 stages: pre-processing by computer vision, reducing counting time by up to 80%; manual count from the processed video; and simultaneous review by software and reviewers.
Each survey station has a record of operator, shift, field conditions and any incidents. The client receives the full log alongside the data — not just the final result.
The client can request a recount of any period or station at any time. For stations with video recording, the recount is performed directly from the footage.
Municipalities and transport secretariats
Urban Mobility Plans (PlanMob), demand studies for new BRT corridors, bus route adjustments and line reviews. Methodology compatible with Ministry of Cities requirements.
Public transport operators
Demand studies for tariff revision, saturation analysis by line and time, boarding & alighting surveys for fleet and frequency optimisation.
Mobility consulting firms
Field subcontracting for projects requiring auditable primary data — PlanMob, PLAMUS, traffic impact studies and demand models for lenders.
Lenders and multilateral organisations
Base surveys for projects financed by WRI, IDB, BNDES and IFC that require auditable demand data as a condition of financing approval.
