TDSSW provides service to government agencies and engineering firms with regards to the movement of vehicles and pedestrians as requested. TDSSW is a service -oriented company committed to meeting the needs of the traffic planning community. We provide full service, cost-effective traffic data collection, reduction, and summation using the best available technology. We employ well -trained technicians who are expert at collecting traffic data under all conditions. Our office is located at 2117 Willow Drive, El Centro, CA 92243. The move to El Centro from Lakeside was necessary in 2008 due to the general downturn in the economy. This has not impacted our ability to respond to requests for immediate service MARTIN PARISH — PRESIDENT TEAM MEMBER Martin worked with Stephen George & Associates of San Diego, CA from February 1991 through May 1996. During his association with Mr. George, he preformed the duties of traffic data collection, reduction, and analysis with progressive degrees of difficulty. Since May of 1996 he has owned and operated Traffic Data Service Southwest (TDSSW, Inc.). Martin is certified to operate the hand held radar for traffic data collection. He will direct or personally conduct all counts in this program. Martin has been an affiliate member of the San Diego Chapter of ITE since 1996. He has found his participation to be very rewarding. He has made friends and developed key business relationships through his association with ITE. CYNTHIA HUST TEAM MEMBER Cindy is the other half of my set team. She and I have developed a good working relationship that allows us to set upwards of four locations per hour depending on traffic flow. She has been with me since mid 2007 and has developed into a first class team member. DATA COLLECTION / REDUCTION Accuracy is the key component in the collection and reporting of data. Machine count data is electronically collected with one or more of our sixty MetroCount vehicle classifiers to provide Volume, Speed, Gap and Vehicle Classification information. Reports are prepared using the latest version of MetroCount Traffic Executive Suite. This technology ensures that you are provided clear, accurate, and easy to read reports. 1 Radar Spot Speed data is collected manually using one or both of our two K-band handheld radar units and then processed electronically with Speed Plot to provide clear and concise reports. Reports can be presented in the standard default format or be customized to fit the need of the client. Intersection turning movement data is either collected using one or more of our twenty-three electronic count boards or video technology. Reports are prepared using PTERA. While the reports are text files, the data is handled electronically to minimize human error. REPORTING Our Machine count data is encoded in a binary format with check sums imbedded in the data file and is only assessable using the MertoCount Traffic Executive Suite. All data is verified for quality and validity before being submitted to the client. Anomalies are discussed with the client for possible recounting. Our product is delivered via e-mail in a .pdf or .txt format (.xls and other formats available upon request). All reports are geo-coded for location identification.
