We’re proud of our impact on transformative projects across the country. For the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), we’re tasked with data collection on an ‘as-needed’ basis for the monitoring and evaluation of 36,000 miles of federal-aid roads in Michigan, with additional reporting requirements for the 83,000 miles of non-federal aid roads. This includes uploading the collected data to MDOT’s Traffic Data Management System (TDMS) for quality and reasonableness evaluation.

In Illinois, our team was selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for the collection of 24-hour Passive Magnetic Sensor (PMS) counts, spanning the Mississippi River to the Indiana state line, and from the Wisconsin state line to the area surrounding Peoria. We’re honored to be selected once again by IDOT for the 2022-2023 contract, encompassing more than 8,000 locations and various count types. Since 2005, we have completed more than 37,000 24-hour volume and vehicle length counts. In the past six years alone, we have collected more than 7,500 counts within the City of Chicago.

At GHA, we deploy cutting-edge technology, including Miovision to deliver a broad spectrum of traffic data collection services, including:

      • Turning Movement Counts
      • Volume / Classification Counts
      • Speed / Congestion Studies
      • Origin – Destination / Travel Time Studies
      • Parking Counts

Our reputation as a leading company in the practical application of technology is driven by our passion for innovation. To enhance the value we provide our clients, we offer online requests for traffic counts and stand as one of the first data collection firms to supplement collected traffic data with GPS data. This fusion results in more comprehensive analysis capabilities for our clients.

Our team of dedicated computer programmers and technicians work relentlessly to ensure worry-free traffic data collection. We take pride in our ability to collect data accurately and efficiently, allowing our clients to focus on achieving their primary business goals.

Join us as we continue to innovate in the world of traffic data collection.
