To convert other file formats to the "Traffic Sensor Data File" file type, you need software like MetroCount Traffic Executive or a similar tool.
About EC0 files
The .EC0 file is a raw traffic data log generated by MetroCount hardware, specifically pneumatic road tubes and piezo sensors. These files store individual axle hit timestamps with sub-millisecond precision, which are used to calculate vehicle speed, volume, and classification. The primary software used to open and analyze these files is MetroCount Traffic Executive. The main disadvantage of the .EC0 format is its closed, proprietary nature. It is a compiled binary file, meaning you cannot open it in standard text editors or spreadsheet software without seeing scrambled characters. Sharing an .EC0 file with a client or analyst who lacks a costly software license is frustrating and unproductive. To make the data usable, .EC0 files must be converted to standard data formats like .CSV, .XLSX, or .TXT. Because the encoding is strictly guarded by the manufacturer, standard online file converters completely fail to process .EC0 files. They simply do not have the algorithms required to pair raw axle hits into vehicle records. Despite these severe limitations, you can use convert.guru to tackle unknown files. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. While full vehicle classification requires the original software, convert.guru can inspect the .EC0 file structure, extract readable header text, and expose embedded metadata like site IDs or hardware logging dates.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EC0 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert EC0 file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use MetroCount Traffic Executive or similar software from the "Traffic Sensor Data Logging" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to EC0, try MetroCount Traffic Executive or another comparable tool in the "Traffic Sensor Data Logging" category.
The EC0 Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our EC0 converter.
