Traffic Counting

Automatic traffic counting on the main road network of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been carried out since 2005. The first printed publication "Traffic counting on the main roads of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2006" was published in 2007. 

Counters of the Slovenian company Mikrobit, i.e. automatic counting devices type QLD-6CX and TLCD 10, are installed around the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Both types of automatic counting devices use a couple of bidirectional inductive loops. These devices classify vehicles by time intervals, group of vehicle and speed threshold. Microbit devices classify vehicles according to the inductive footprint. Currently, 120 Microbit automatic traffic counters are in use. 

TYPE OF VEHICLES COUNTED BY AUTOMATIC COUNTING DEVICES QLD-6CX AND QLTC 10

Type of vehicle Vehicle description - QLD-6CX Type of vehicle Vehicle description - QLTC 10
A1 Motorcycles A0 Motorcycles

Data on counted vehicles, collected from individual QLD-6CX devices, are downloaded remotely by GSM modem, while data from QLTC-10C counters are automatically sent via an integrated GSM/GPRS modem to the server at the BH Roads headquarters.

In addition to the mentioned permanent automatic counters, two MWTC-1 radar counters are also in use. Automatic traffic counter MWTC-1 is based on microwave technology that can detect and count moving vehicles (10-250 km/h) and classify them into 6 categories.
