SPEED SURVEYS
Apex Strategies undertake manual radar speed surveys in order to establish existing 85th percentile vehicle speeds at a given location.
This exercise has various applications but is most commonly undertaken to determine requirements for junction visibility.
Manual speed surveys provide an accurate indication of vehicle speeds, accounting for factors such as weather conditions, constraints to free flow conditions, and allow for the removal of ‘platoons’ and abnormal vehicle movements from the survey.

PARKING STRESS SURVEYS
The issue of parking stress in urban areas is becoming an increasingly sensitive issue and many local authorities now require planning applications to be supported by Parking Stress Surveys which both assess the current parking profile and provide an understanding of the impact on the parking capacity of any new development.
Apex Strategies undertake parking stress surveys in line with the industry standard "Lambeth Methodology" and produce a clear, professional output for submission to the local authority.

DRONE SURVEYS
Apex Strategies offer Drone surveys for a range of purposes including parking surveys and observations of junction performance and vehicle queuing.
Drones provide an invaluable bird's-eye view from up to 120m allowing multiple locations to be observed and recorded simultaneously, making it easier to identify the sources of any recurring issues within the study area.
