Rush Hour Traffic Counter 2.0

Matthew Belson

About this app

This application is designed for traffic surveying, accounting for the 12 basic turning movements (more count styles are to come in updates). Why pay $300 for a hardware counting board when you can just do it on your phone? This application replicates these boards and writes excel-friendly .txt files with comma-separated values so they can easily be imported using the comma delimiter. In addition, this app also grants you additional features such as customized interval lengths, change the NESW orientation, erase accidental button presses, share result files over data/wifi, and even automatically crunches some numbers for you such as the peak interval and peak hour factor (PHF). With the RushHour Traffic Counter, you'll have an intuitive and wallet-friendly companion for collecting all your turn count data.

It is recommended that you minimize the number of background apps in use before counting.

Feel free to contact me to suggest features that could be added or any errors to improve this app!

Updates From Original Rush Hour Traffic Counter:

-Fixed major bug that caused the app to crash on higher API's.
-Fixed minor data entry bugs.
-Added 2 extra banks for counting trucks and buses separate from cars.
-Added ability to pause counts and alter the timer rate from 0.5x to 20x real life speed, so that the app can be used in sync with sped up/slowed down video recordings of traffic to count more efficiently.
-Upgraded layout and design to make it compatible with a wider range of devices.

Ratings and reviews

The setup of this app is fantastic. However after conducting a count session NONE of my data was saved. I have an Android (for reference). Once the count session ended, the "List of Counts" was nothing but a blank screen with a scroll function. I was disappointed to say the least. This app COULD have been a saving grace but, unfortunately was not in my case.

Thank you so much for this app. I totally love this app. Can count intersection traffic easily, take notes and import in excel in 3 clicks. Saves a ton of time. God Bless.

This app was awesome, but unfortunately I found that new version does not work. I give permission to Files, but my counts are't saved to file :(

What's new

Corrected major issue with files not saving specifically in Android 10. Take note when updating to Android 10 or 11 as the files must be saved to different locations, and the list will not show files in the older locations (they will still be on your phone):

-Android Versions Older than 10: Internal Storage/Rush Hour Traffic Counter.
-Android 10: Downloads/Rush Hour Traffic Counter
-Android 11 and up: Documents/Rush Hour Traffic Counter
