Southend-On-Sea - October 2025

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 14:50:27 GMT

2025 was a very exciting year for us with the completion of all manner of traffic survey works. One I would like to highlight was toward the end of the year with the successful completion of 114 Automatic Traffic Counter (ATC) installations for Southend-On-Sea City Council over a two week period, assisting the council in establishing new baseline data for their Transport models. I am particularly proud of our team on this project as it demonstrates our capability to handle such large-scale installations, and abilities working closely with our clients.

Sutton – June 2023

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 15:54:21 GMT

During the months of June and July this year prior to start of the Summer Holidays we installed and collected ATC data on behalf of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in the Sutton area. We installed over 80 units to collect data in the Carshalton and Cheam residential areas as well as the roads surrounding the Abbey, Thomas Wall and Tweeddale primary schools.

We also conducted MCTC and PV2 surveys inline with the ATC data. The MCTC surveys were conducted on some of the nearby junctions including a 5-arm junction on Foresters Drive with the Pedestrian/Vehicle squared studies covering the Plough Lane and Welbeck Road areas.

Care UK – May 2023

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 15:53:47 GMT

OnPoint Surveys was commissioned by Vectos on behalf of Care UK to undertake surveys of existing care homes within their estate. The surveys were undertaken at 15 Care UK locations spread across the UK. All 15 sites were surveyed in detail to gain a holistic understanding of the travel patterns of both members of staff and visitors to the care homes. An understanding of the number of staff who work at each site, their working patterns, full time or part time, their usual shift patterns, and their method of travel.

A detailed understanding of the car park usage was captured in the form of arrival/departure camera survey. The number of carpark spaces were identified within each care home, the starting accumulation of the car park and the entries and egresses of the car park over the survey period. As well as an understanding of alternative carparking spaces determining the impact on the local highway network of overspill parking.

To conduct these surveys several cameras and ad hoc staff were used at each site to collect the relevant data. All 15 sites were successfully surveyed, and the results delivered lead to conscious changes at each of the care homes.

TRICS Leinster – April 2023

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 15:53:09 GMT

OnPoint Surveys took the trip to Leinster, Ireland to complete the TRICS studies that had been awarded.

Wolverhampton – Commercial Parking Stress study 2022 - May 2022

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 15:32:20 GMT

We were asked by our client to undertake a Commercial parking beat study in line with the Lambeth methodology. The difference between a commercial and residential based study is that a commercial study is 500 metre walking radius of the site as apposed to 200 metres which in actual fact menas its about 5-6 times the size. Our client required nigh time betas as well as AM, inter and PM peak time beats in 15 minute periods. The data included included a full street inventory and crosses indicating vehicle parked locations for each and every beat.

Kingston – Tolworth Video LTN - March 2022

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 15:23:52 GMT

GREENWICH - BOROUGH-WIDE PARKING SURVEYS - August 2021

183:769370590 (Richard Cumberworth) — Wed, 20 Oct 2021 12:50:07 GMT

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is undergoing rapid growth in population and regeneration which is set to continue for a number of years. That growth brings with it increasing car parking pressures on what is a finite amount of kerb space across the borough. The Council was seeking consultancy support from a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to carry out parking surveys to identify areas with high parking stress and using this information to make recommendations for the rollout of a borough wide Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) Programme.

That consultant is OnPoint Surveys Ltd. We will be conducting comprehensive parking surveys recording number plates in hourly intervals on selected days, as well as borough wide vehicle counts of all those parked on the public highway, and kerb length measurements to ascertain the supply of parking within various study areas. All to establish the level of existing on-street parking within the borough.

PARTNERSHIP PARK, PORTSMOUTH - July 2021

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 12:44:57 GMT

An unusual request at Partnership Park in Portsmouth, where there is a delivery only Mcdonalds unit, which generates a lot of Uber eats / Deliveroo drivers queuing up to pick up orders. This was causing congestion in the business park and disruption for other tenants. We were instructed to monitor the queue length on the access road and ascertain where each of the vehicles park within the retail park. We used multiple cameras to track these vehicles and split the park into coloured zones so as we can identify where they go and how long they stay. These works were conducted on both a Friday and following Saturday.

RAINHAM, ESSEX - June 21

183:769370590 (Richard Cumberworth) — Wed, 20 Oct 2021 12:42:02 GMT

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 17:03:52 GMT

While the industry was hit dramatically with the news of the lock down during the Coronavirus Pandemic there was still a requirement for some speed surveys and Parking stress studies. We were also pivotal in supplying some historic data wherever possible to assist our clients with their models and assessments. In doing so we felt our efforts in part and alongside other survey companies helped the struggle to keep the industry, our clients and ourselves afloat. With government aid, a small amount of work and assisting in the supply of historic data we as a business and our staff have been able to survive and look forward to working with our clients in what will be the new normal.

BLACKWALL YARD - March 20

Our client was working to extreme tight deadlines and we successfully delivered all aspects of the project within 3 working days of the survey date.

BRANDON - November 19

Fri, 01 Nov 2019 00:00:00 GMT

A unique study where initially our client requested a single ATC unit at a particular site access in Brandon, Norfolk. Upon looking at the site we realised it may be awkward (due to the layout of the access) to install the unit and to ensure accuracy and classification of the high volume of plant vehicles that access the site. We therefore suggested placing a high mast digital camera instead and video recording the access giving us the ability to manually record the data. This then ensures the accuracy and classification including plant vehicles as well as having the footage to support the data to which was provided to our client on a memory stick.

MOOR LANE, KINGSTON - October 19

Tue, 01 Oct 2019 00:00:00 GMT

The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames were seeking a fixed quotation for a 7 day video survey, MCTC, queue length and pedestrian surveys in Bridge Road / Moor Lane area.

THE GUINEAS CAR PARK, NEWMARKET - September 19

Sun, 01 Sep 2019 00:00:00 GMT

OnPoint were commissioned to conduct a multi-disciplined study in Newmarket within The Guineas Car Park and surrounding junctions. The purpose of the study was based upon a proposal to build a cinema complex within the grounds of The Guineas Car Park. Currently the Car park is split into 3 sections of Long Stay, Short stay and a separate car park for the adjacent Premier Inn to which our client needed the data for each car park separate from the other. We were required to provide a duration of stay for all vehicles throughout a 14 hour period for a neutral weekday and a Saturday for each of the 3 car parks, to which we used our ANPR cameras to record all number plates that entered/exited them.

From the footage we were able to extract all number plates with a time stamp for each and match them using our matching software. With the time stamps of all vehicles we were able to determine their duration of stay and the accumulation of vehicles within the car parks at any given time. In addition to this, we provided MCTC data for 8 surrounding junctions with Queue Lengths at each and Saturation Flows with DOS at the signalised junctions along with ATC installations at the site access points. All data was delivered to our client successfully and within the specified time scales.

LEWES - July 19

Mon, 01 Jul 2019 00:00:00 GMT

OnPoint Surveys were commissioned by a new client to undertake a study within the Lewes area adjacent to the prison on behalf of a local development scheme. The study consisted of a Parking Beat in line with Lambeth Methodology with a full street inventory in order to demonstrate the parking provision within a 200m walking radius of the site. A one day Manual Classified Turning Count of 4 surrounding junctions inclusive of Queue Lengths was also required for a 12 hour period of 07:00-12:00 to which we used a number of our high mast digital cameras.

We are proud to state that since this project we have gone on to conduct a number of surveys on behalf of this client, and look forward to a continued working relationship.

GRAYS INN ROAD, LONDON - June 19

Sat, 01 Jun 2019 00:00:00 GMT

This was a pedestrian study to which our client required various quotations for various scenarios. In the end we conducted a study at a number of locations along Grays Inn Road and Kings Cross Road as well as various locations within inclusive of pedestrian movements to/from Kings Cross station. We used high mast digital cameras capturing all pedestrian movements and data included those that cross roads, at pedestrian crossings, along pavements and turning corners etc.

CAMBRIDGE - JUNE 19

Sat, 01 Jun 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Our client had requested a study inclusive of fully classified turning counts for all modes of travel (including pedestrians and cyclists), with queues and delays, at 9 junctions. The study was conducted on a neutral day for peak hours of 07:00-10:00 and 16:00 -19:00. We worked very closely with our client here as they had some particular requirements, especially with the traffic delay times to which they provided a particular methodology for us to adhere to.

Seeking the relevant licences from the council was problematic as the study needed to be conducted by the end of June; however we managed to encourage the council to fast track the process which allowed us to conduct the works by the deadline. All data was delivered to our client in a timely fashion and we look forward to a continued working relationship with them.

GREENWICH - May 19

Wed, 01 May 2019 00:00:00 GMT

OnPoint Surveys were commissioned by Greenwich council to install a total of 29 ATC units a 2 week period within the Waterdale, Colepit, and Plumstead areas of Greenwich. These were part of ongoing speed and vehicle volume assessment of residential areas within the borough. Each unit had a midweek check each week and both speed and class reports were supplied. Both speed and Classification reports were provided to the council with photos and site details of each location.

EASTBOURNE - May 19

Wed, 01 May 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Another multi-disciplined study for a valuable client whom we have built an exciting ongoing relationship with. This study required ATC units and the use of our high mast digital cameras, 21 to be précised across 5 junctions ensuring we capture not only the vehicle turning movements but also the full length of the queueing traffic. We ensure that a back camera is placed on every arm of each junction and further cameras placed every 100 metres or when there is bend in the road (whichever is shorter).

We have found this to be the most accurate and cost effective method of recording queue length data. There were also pedestrian crossings within the study area to which data was provided for this also.

MALDEN RUSHET, KINGSTON - April 19

Mon, 01 Apr 2019 00:00:00 GMT

OnPoint Surveys were commissioned again by The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames to conduct a speed survey and a PV2 survey on A243 Kingston Road, near by the The Star, Malden Rushett. The purpose was to review the existing pedestrian refuge crossing facility to further investigate upgrading to a formal crossing facility. High mast digital cameras and ATC units were installed and reporting detailed Pedestrian/Vehicle squared PV2 calculation to determine how the current use of the crossing compares to Modified TfL PV2 criteria.

LEICESTER - February 19

Fri, 01 Feb 2019 00:00:00 GMT

OnPoint Surveys were commissioned to undertake a continuous 7 day footfall study at East Gates Leicester. The study was to determine the footfall of all pedestrians that pass a certain point to determine the potential shoppers for a proposed retail development within the town centre. OnPoint used its high mast digital cameras to capture a permanent record of the goings on, to which was provided on a flash drive to our client.

LAKESIDE THURROCK - December 18

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 00:00:00 GMT

OnPoint Surveys were commissioned to undertake a continuous 4 day footfall study of all shoppers that pass the front of Dorothy Perkins store within the lakeside shopping centre.

OnPoint used its digital cameras to capture a permanent record of the events.

NORFOLK - November 18

Sun, 18 Nov 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Our client required 16 ATC installations across the county of Norfolk. They were 16 individual locations spanning from the south of Norfolk on the A11 and A140 through to the North on the A148 in Fakenham and Cromer. Some locations are particularly busy roads so installations, checks, and removals were done during the night in High Vis chapter 8 compliant vehicle’s and all site staff wearing full PPE inclusive of steel toe cap boots and goggles. The units were down for 1 week with a midweek check. We used our Metrocount ATC units and software providing both speed and class reports.

KINGSTON, BURLINGTON ROAD - January 19

Mon, 01 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT

OnPoint surveys won a tender with The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames to observe the origin and destination of all pedestrians and cyclists entering and exiting the survey area along Burlington Road with a time stamp giving each journey time. We were to categorise pedestrians by residents, visitors and by age groups as well as their mode of transport, car, bus, by bike or by foot. We labelled crossing points and split the area in to zones and identified popular undesignated crossing points/desire lines & controlled crossings.

The council ultimately wanted to collate the data as a visual representation therefore details of where each and every person starts, finishes and crosses the road were essential to build up a model.
