Run your first turning movement study

Create an account, verify your email address, and sign in to the LaneLogic dashboard.

Open Downloads in the dashboard and choose the latest Windows or macOS installer.

Install and launch LaneLogic. On its first successful launch, leave the app online while it retrieves the required model files.

Follow the licence prompt or dashboard licence flow to associate the application with your machine.

Choose a safe roadside mounting location with a clear view of the study area. Avoid signs, trees, poles, parked vehicles, construction equipment, and signal heads blocking key lanes or crosswalks.

Place and aim the camera so vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists appear as large and clear as practical. Subjects closer to the camera generally produce more reliable detection and tracking.

Mount the camera high enough to see over nearby vehicles where practical, then aim it so the full intersection or study segment is visible without wasting most of the frame on sky, buildings, or unused roadway.

Frame each counted movement from before the decision point through the exit path. Turning vehicles should remain visible long enough for LaneLogic to follow their trajectory.

Minimize occlusion where possible. Large vehicles blocking smaller vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists can reduce count quality, especially near stop bars, right turns, and crosswalks.

Check the live view or a short test recording before leaving the site. Confirm focus, exposure, horizon level, time settings, battery/storage, and that the camera is locked in place.

Review a sample during the same lighting period as the study when possible. Good lighting helps; headlight glare, deep shadows, rain, snow, windshield reflections, and low sun can reduce count quality.

Start a new study and select a video file. The current application presents MP4, AVI, and MOV files, with codec support depending on whether LaneLogic can decode the file.

Confirm the preview and file details, including video length, frame rate, and resolution.

Enter the project number, location, study date, and video start time. Use the map location option when coordinates are useful for your record.

Choose whether an annotated video should be saved with the study outputs.

On the Movements step, choose Draw Lines to open the movement editor over a representative video frame.

Draw the paths for the movements required in your count, using familiar codes such as NBL, NBT, SBT, or EBR.

Start each movement spline where vehicles are reliably visible and detected. Avoid starting on the very edge of the video, but also avoid starting inside the intersection where unrelated vehicles may be assigned to that movement.

Draw each movement through the full visible path, from the old leg into the intersection and out onto the new leg. Seeing the complete movement dramatically helps LaneLogic count vehicles properly.

Make movement paths as distinct from one another as the geometry allows. Similar-looking paths, such as a far-side slip lane that resembles a through movement, are more likely to be confused.

Check that paths follow the intended vehicle travel direction and reach far enough through the movement to support a completed count.

Save lines if this intersection layout will be reused, or load saved lines for a repeat study.

Choose Start Study for immediate analysis, or Queue for background processing managed through the Study Queue window.

During analysis, use the processing view or queue monitor to watch frames processed, FPS, estimated time remaining, and counted vehicles.

If needed, retain an annotated video to review detection overlays and trajectory behaviour alongside the resulting counts.

Let the study complete before exporting final count tables.

Open the Study Summary Report to confirm study details, movement tables, and available quality metrics.

Review interval totals and class views such as all vehicles, lights, heavies, cyclists, or pedestrians where enabled.

Select an export preset. Built-in presets can be duplicated when you need a custom section, table layout, or filename pattern.

Export the required format: XLSX, CSV, PDF, or text. Keep the study metadata with project deliverables for traceability.
