Q

Method of traffic count

Study These Flashcards
A

Choose a safe recording position
Record the amount of traffic travelling down the street for 10 minutes
Record on tally chart
Show on a flow line diagram

21
Q

What is qualitative data?

Study These Flashcards
A

Data that is more opinion-based but is still useful

22
Q

What is quantitative data?

Study These Flashcards
A

Data that usually consists of factual information

23
Q

What is reliability?

Study These Flashcards
A

Ensuring data is collected consistently

24
Q

What is accuracy?

Study These Flashcards
A

Ensuring a technique is carried out correctly

25
What does subjective mean?
An opinion based on personal feelings
26
What does objective mean?
An opinion based on fact
27
What did we find out about why people travelled to Wapping Wharf?
40% was for leisure, 33% for work
28
Do people think there are enough safe pedestrian and cycle lanes?
Yes, 100%
29
How did most people travel there?
Walk, 51%
30
Do people think there is a good mix between independent and chain stores?
Yes, 100%
31
Explain how we have presented questionnaire data in compound bar graphs
We calculated the percentage of people who responded in a certain way and drew it as a proportion of a bar
32
Advantages of compound bar graphs 2
Patterns clearly visually identifiable - can see popular responses Can see the highest and lowest values by proportion of bar taken up
33
Disadvantages of compound bar graph 2
Too many divisions can be confusing | Limited use - only for percentage data
34
Scores for our areas in proportional symbol maps
Museum Street and Gaol Ferry Steps = 8 | Cumberland Road = 7
35
Explain how we presented our data as proportional symbol maps
Collected data from environmental quality surveys Worked out an overall score for each area Cut out a shape which is proportional to that score
36
Advantages of proportional symbol maps
Easier than showing all categories of quality survey
37
Disadvantages of proportional symbol maps 4
Confusing to outsiders No specific data Obstructs base map Similar results as were in same place
38
Sustainable and non sustainable transport at Cumberland Road
25 sustainable | 97 non
39
Sustainable and non sustainable transport at Wapping Road
21 sustainable | 34 non
40
Sustainable and non-sustainable transport at Museum Street
6 sustainable | 6 non
41
Explain how we presented our traffic count data s flow line diagrams
We drew two arrows (for sustainable and non sustainable) for each road we counted at We used a scale so the length of our arrows were proportional to our results
42
Advantages of flow line diagrams 4
Effective at showing trends Ease of comparison Easy to plot parallel to road Anomalies are clearly shown by smaller/missing arrow
43
Disadvantages of flow line diagrams 1
May cover up important info on base map
44
Anomalies in data
50% of questionnaire people said they walked to Wapping Wharf Only 28% sustainable vehicles found on traffic count
45
Reason for anomalies
We conduted our traffic count at midday where most walkers would already be at work
46
Problems with collecting data 3
Confusing traffic count - vehicle and number Too close to other groups No younger people for questionnaire - at work
47
Limitation of results
We only conducted our investigation once at midday so many of the important younger generation would have been at work
48
Other useful data
Information on businesses for sustainability
49
How would we improve it?
Collect at multiple times of day over a larger area to get opinions of working age Larger area to see more variation
