Cambridgeshire County Council - Traffic Monitoring Sensor Deployment

The Greater Cambridge Partnership is aiming to ease congestion and prioritise greener and active travel, making it easier for people to travel by bus, rail, cycle or on foot and to improve average journey time (4.87 minutes per mile in the peak hour in 2015 as well as reducing Congestion in peak-time traffic levels in Cambridge by 10-15% based on a 2011 baseline by 2031).\r One of the ways we can better understand the existing useage of the road network is to consistent monitoring of traffic flows of all highway users. This will allow us to understand the way the highway space is currently utilised and in turn allow us to make more informed decisions on future projects as well as allowing us to monitor and assess the impact of any changes. It will also provide the opportunity to correlate the useage with other areas of interest such as air quality.\r
