Board authorizes traffic‑data software purchase to speed street counts and analysis
Summary
Commissioners authorized an agreement with Urban SDK for traffic-data software through 2028 at a cost reported as $43,663; staff said the system will allow the township to gather multi‑period traffic counts and speed data far more quickly than manual counts.
Upper Dublin’s board on July 14 authorized a multi‑year agreement with Urban SDK for software the township expects will speed traffic data collection and analysis.
Staff described the purchase as a tool for the traffic-safety committee to collect speeds, counts and 85th‑percentile speed measures quickly across selectable time windows (days, weeks, months, years). The manager said the software contract would run through Dec. 31, 2028, and the total cost reported at the meeting was $43,663. Officials estimated that a portion of the recurring cost could be offset in future years by bus‑patrol revenue.
The board moved, seconded and approved authorization for the agreement on a voice vote with ayes recorded. Staff said the tool should cut the township’s manual data‑collection workload (previously 200–300 person‑hours per year) and allow more targeted enforcement and engineering responses.
