countCLOUD Classification Types

countCLOUD has been optimized to provide trail counts, volume only access counts, and three classification breakdowns. These include two-, three-, and 13-vehicle classifications.

Trail counts provide directional pedestrian and bicycle counts along a pathway at a specific point.

Volume only access counts provide single class, inbound and outbound volumes, at a intersection approach or development access.

The two-vehicle classification provides a breakdown of Light Vehicles (FHWA Classes 1, 2, 3, and 5 that are the size of an ambulance or smaller) and Heavy Vehicles (All other FHWA Classes).

The three-vehicle classification breakdown provides two classification options:

  1. 3-Class (Single)
    1. Light Vehicles: FHWA Classes 1, 2, 3, and 5 that are the size of an ambulance or smaller
    2. Single Unit Trucks: FHWA Classes 4, 6, 7, and designated vehicles from Class 5
    3. Articulating Trucks: FHWA Classes 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13
  2. 3-Class (Busses)
    1. Light Vehicles: FHWA Classes 1, 2, 3, and 5 that are the size of an ambulance or smaller
    2. Buses: FHWA Class 4
    3. Heavy Vehicles: A rollup of the FHWA Classes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and designated vehicles from Class 5


The 13-vehicle classification provides a full 13-class FHWA classification breakdown.

Under all vehicle processing scenarios, pedestrian and bicycle crosswalk movements, and turning movements for bicycles in the roadway, are provided. More information on pedestrian and bicycle counting structure can be found HERE.

PLEASE NOTE: Pedestrian/bicycle movements WILL NOT be provided in volume counts unless a marked crosswalk is present. Pedestrians/bicycles using the adjacent sidewalk facilities WILL NOT be included.
