We are very pleased that we have been commissioned again to undertake Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames’ annual Screenline Cycle survey for 2021. The study comprised of two way cycle movements on the carriageway and footpath at each site as well as other selective movements at certain sites. This required the use of 37 cameras 1 at each location to record simultaneously for 1 day during the period of 07:00-19:00. All data was submitted within 10 working days of survey completion and all footage was supplied to the council on an external hard drive.

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.

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.

OnPoint Surveys took the trip to Leinster, Ireland to complete the TRICS studies that had been awarded. Managing the logistics of the survey was key to a successful data collection at the Level 1 & 2 sites in Ireland. With the use of local ad hoc staff and the experience of fulltime OnPoint staff the study on the whole was a success and the data was delivered in a timely manner.

The second TRICS study awarded to OnPoint came closer to home. The Level 1 & 2 sites in the Greater London area were surveyed by us to collect the necessary data required for a survey of this nature. The London and Greater London studies add an additional element due to the added transport links associated with the area namely the frequency of buses and the multiple overground and underground train lines.

OnPoint Surveys was commissioned by The Shared Environment Service of the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Borough of Sutton to undertake a comprehensive study in the Tolworth area, comprising an ANPR Origin and Destination Survey, Manual Classified Turning counts and numerous speed and classified ATC counts.

The ANPR O/D Survey comprised of 13 nodes to capture bi-directional data within a two square kilometre cordon. The MCC Surveys were conducted at 14 locations to include all classes as well as ATC Counts at 35 locations collecting Speed and Class data.

A combination of equipment and expertise across three different disciplines was collaborated by OnPoint staff to complete each element of the surveys required. Successful data collection and analysis of each element was combined to produce a holistic of data set for The Shared Environment Service.

Working in conjuction with both our client, and the local authority at brighton-Hove we were asked to undertake travel based interviews at of all access points and various locations within the 20 hectare restoration area of the park. The surveys were to be conducted on both a Tuesday and following Saturday. We also used cameras to record all traffic movements within the site. The purpose of the survey was to understand the travel patterns of visitors and workers amnd what the ratios are with useing private vehicles to travel to the site and to better understand why that is and find ways which might encourage people to use public transport or active methods of travel e.g. cycling and walking. All interviews were conducted on tablets and loaded directly onto a website with login details provided by the council so as they can access the data in real time.

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.
