1 Introduction
1.1.1 This Traffic Survey Report describes the survey data assembled and
used in the building of the Bexhill Hastings Link Road highway and public
transport models.
1.1.2 A previous SATURN highway model for the Scheme was built and
validated in 2004. This highway model has been updated in line with the
VaDMA guidance issued in September 2005 This Traffic Survey Report
describes the data used to update the SATURN model and build the VISUM
public transport model.

2 Manual Classified Counts

2.1.1 East Sussex County Council provided data for junction and link
counts across the modelled area for surveys that had been carried out from
2002 onwards. Count data used to build and validate the previous SATURN
model was also retained for sites where more recent counts had not been
undertaken. Counts undertaken at the A21/A28/A2100 Baldslow junction in
October 2005 were supplied by Hyder.
2.1.2 Table 2.1 below shows the number of classified link and junction
counts, and ATC data was used by year. There were a total of 74 junction
counts, 16 link counts and 41 ATC used in the model building and validation
process. Of these, 18 junctions were retained for validation.
2.1.3 Appendix A contains a list of all the count data and details the
location of the counts, the date and type of survey, which time periods the
count covered and whether it was used for calibration or validation.

3 Automatic Traffic Count Data

3.1.1 Permanent Automatic Traffic Counter (ATC) sites are located on the
A259 at Glyne Gap and Bexhill De La Warr Road. Data from these sites were
used to convert all the junction and link counts to a common base of Sept
2004 for use in matrix building and validation. September 2004 was chosen as
it was the only neutral month in 2004 for which full data was available.
3.1.2 There are also permanent ATCs located on the A259 at Bachelors
Bump east of Hastings and at Barnhorn west of Bexhill. Figure 2.1 shows the
location of the four A259 ATCs.
3.1.3 Data from the ATC site at Glyne Gap was also used to confirm the
modelled hours. Figure 3.1 shows the daily profile of flows at this location. As
with the 2004 model, the am peak is represented by the hour between 0800
and 0900. Similarly the interpeak model is for an average hour between 1000
and 1600. The PM peak model has been revised to assess an average hour
between 1600 and 1800 as the ATC revealed little difference in flow levels of
the two hours.

3.1.4 Figure 3.2 shows how flows vary across weekdays in September
2004. Comparison of the average daily flow during the week show Friday had
the highest flow of the week while Monday is the lowest with approximately
3% (800) difference between the two days. Figure 3.3 shows the monthly
variation in flows using data from 2004 and 2005. The ATC counters did not
collect data for a number of complete months over the last two years so these
months have not been included. The analysis suggested that the flow starts off
low at the beginning of the year then gradually builds up during the year and
5
reach the peak at around September then reduces again when approaching
November and December.
3.1.5 The ATC data at Glyne Gap in 2005 shows that the highest
eastbound hourly flow occurred on a Wednesday in July between 1700 and
1800. The highest westbound flow occurred on a Wednesday in September
between 0800 and 0900. 12 hour flows in August 2005 are an average of
24,269 on a Saturday and 21,132 on a Sunday which are both lower than the
average 12 hour flows on weekdays in September 2004.

4 Roadside Interview Surveys

4.1.1 Five Roadside Interview Surveys (RSI’s) were used to build the
matrices for the updated SATURN model. These created a north-south
screenline between Bexhill and Hastings through Glyne Gap. Three of the sites
were London Area Transport Survey (LATS) data, and the remaining two
undertaken by East Sussex County Council. Figure 4.1 shows the location of
each of the sites.
4.1.2 Surveys at the three LATS sites were undertaken in May 2002. The
A271 site was surveyed in the eastbound direction and the B2096 and A259
Glyne Gap sites were surveyed in the westbound direction. The A271 and B2096
sites were surveyed using postcards whereas the Glyne Gap surveys were
interview surveys. The surveys were undertaken between 06:00 and 22:00.
4.1.3 East Sussex undertook an additional RSI at Glyne Gap in April 2004 in
the eastbound direction and also surveyed Crowhurst Road in June 2005 in the
westbound direction. Both of these surveys were interview surveys. The surveys
were undertaken between 07:00 and 19:00.
4.1.4 Table 4.1 below shows a comparison of the sample rate achieved at
each site and the rate required for the sample to be accurate to 5% within a 95%
confidence interval. The Glyne Gap westbound survey is just outside the required
sample rate but all other survey locations achieved the required sample rate.

5 Journey Time Surveys

5.1.1 For the previous SATURN highway model, journey time surveys had
been carried out along one east-west route through Glyne Gap between
Bexhill and Hastings in April 2004. Three additional east-west journey time
survey routes were carried out for the updated model and the original Glyne
Gap route was resurveyed in December 2005.
5.1.2 Figure 5.1 shows the surveyed routes. The yellow route through
Glyne Gap was surveyed in both April 2004 and December 2005. The green
route covers the main roads into and around Bexhill, the purple route picks up
the east-west route along the A271 and the blue route travels east-west along
the B2096 as well as extending down into Hastings.
5.1.3 Roadworks were taking place on the A2100 south of Battle during
the 2005 surveys. This affected two of the surveyed routes, namely the blue
and purple routes. Timings were recorded as the vehicles reached the queues
south of the roadworks. North of the roadworks, queues extended back along
the A2100 north of Battle. As a result vehicles on the blue and purple routes
travelling eastbound were sometimes held up turning onto the A2100 and
sometimes let into the queues by drivers on the A2100.
5.1.4 An analysis had been carried out to make sure the journey times
collected for each route are within the acceptability requirement stated in
DMRB Volume 13 Part 5. The journey time surveys are required to have an
accuracy of 10% or less. Table 5.1 shows the number of runs carried out to
collect the journey time information and the journey time accuracy for each
route respectively.
5.1.5 The purple route surveys meet the required accuracy limits except
for the pm peak in the eastbound direction. This was due to heavy delays on
the last leg of the route created by the roadworks. The blue route surveys
meet the required accuracy limits in the interpeak period but the peak periods
were again affected by the roadworks.
5.1.6 The green route surveys meet the required accuracy limits in both
directions an all time periods.
5.1.7 The yellow route surveys meet the required accuracy limits for
approximately half the required time periods and directions. The interpeak
surveys in both directions and both survey months are suitably accurate, as
are the pm clockwise surveys. This route passes along the most congested
route between Bexhill and Hastings leading to the range of journey times
observed. Table 5.2 compares the range and mean of observed journey times
on the yellow route.

5.1.8 In the am peak, the April surveys show longer journey times for the
eastbound section via Harleyshute Road. This is due to one surveyed run
where large delays occurred in the Gillsmans Hill area. The April journey times
are also longer for the westbound route via the A259. The surveys show that
there were more delays through Glyne Gap in April than December. The
remaining sections of the route show similar average journey times in both
April and December.
13
5.1.9 In the interpeak the routes via Harleyshute Road show increased
delays through Gilsmans Hill and Glyne Gap in April. The other routes via the
A259 show very similar average journey times in April and December.
5.1.10 The pm peak routes show the largest differences between April and
December journey times. For all routes the increase in journey times are
through the A259/Harleyshute Road junction and along Glyne Gap.
5.1.11 Both sets of yellow route journey time surveys have been combined
to create data against which the traffic model has been validated to improve
the accuracy limits of the surveys and to ensure the appropriate travel times
through Glyne Gap are modelled. Table 5.3 below shows the accuracy of the
April and December surveys combined. The am peak runs and pm peak run in
the clockwise direction are now only just outside the required accuracy limits.

6 Bus Surveys
6.1 Electronic Ticket Machine Data
6.1.1 Ticket data was requested from Stagecoach for the two bus routes
which run between Bexhill and Hastings, services 98 and 710. Ticket data was
received for the 14th and 15th September 2004 for 0800-0900, 1000-1600 and
1600-1800 showing trip numbers between stops on the two routes.
6.1.2 Figure 6.1 shows the bus routes for which data was received.
6.2 Passenger Number Surveys
6.2.1 A passenger number survey had been carried out by ESCC at Glyne
Gap which recorded how many people were travelling on the bus either
towards Hasting or Bexhill. The survey covered three time periods (07:00-
10:00, 12:00-14:00 and 16:00-19:00) on Tuesday, 22 November 2005.

7.2 Station Counts
Steer Davies Gleave had carried out station counts at Bexhill, Hasting, St
Leonards Warrior Square and West St Leonards in January 2000 between
06:00 and 20:00. The counts show how many passengers enter the station
every 10mins between 0700 and 0900, and every 30mins for the rest of the
day. ESCC carried out a similar count at Battle station in Thursday 17th
November 2005 between 05:30 and 20:30 counting the number of passengers
boarding and alighting from platforms at the station. Table 7.1 shows the
passenger numbers recorded during the modelled time periods of 0800-0900,
1000-1600 and 1600-1800.
