Reports and data
A KerbSight report explains the findings. The spreadsheet, if you want one, is not the product.
Raw observations are a list. A report is what that list means for the road that was surveyed: what was measured, over what period, and what the pattern shows. It is written for a clerk, a head teacher, a councillor or a planning officer, not only for someone who already works with traffic data.
What a report contains
- The location, including where the surveyor stood
- The date, start and finish, weather and road conditions
- The posted speed limit, where speed is the subject
- The method, and the version of that method
- The main figures, with a short explanation of each
- Speed distribution, 85th percentile, mean and compliance, for a speed survey
- Volumes, direction and vehicle type, where those were recorded
- A plain statement of what the survey does not show
The methodology page describes the approach in general. The report repeats the facts of the particular visit, so a reader can see them without asking.
Online results
Customers will also be able to explore survey results through the KerbSight online portal. The report remains the document you can send to a committee or an authority. The portal is for looking through the same results without reconstructing them from a spreadsheet.
The portal is part of the service we are building. It is not a login you can use today. Enquiries and surveys are being structured so that results can be shown there without being rebuilt later.
Demonstration layout
The sample report shows the kind of page a customer will see. Every figure on it is demonstration data. It is not a KerbSight survey and it does not describe a real road we have studied.
