HE has gathered traffic data and video footage from a live evaluation site located on the network to validate and support the creation of the RAD. The site used Side Fire Radars, inductive loops, and DfT (ATC) loops all within close proximity which has produce a number of reports regarding supplementary information pertaining to detectors being used on the network. The evaluation site is operational and will be providing further traffic data which needs to be collected and analysis so that it can be used to validate and support relevant information to be translated into requirements and advice including guidance. This task will also support delivery of Action 82 of the Health and Safety 5 Year Plan which is to 'Continue to develop Requirement & Advice documents to improve design standards and to improve the effectiveness of road safety evaluations'.
