Tracking and Understanding the Growth of Active Mobility: Monitoring Pedestrian and Cyclist Traffic in Urban and Natural Spaces

The rise of active mobility—primarily cycling and walking—is reshaping cities and natural spaces. For local authorities, site managers, and urban planners, having access to accurate and reliable data is essential to monitor and anticipate changes in usage patterns.

Pedestrian and cyclist counting systems have become vital tools for optimizing mobility policies, adapting infrastructure, and justifying new investments to potential funders. With Kiomda’s autonomous counting solutions, you can monitor footfall in real time, analyze trends, and measure the true impact of your infrastructure upgrades.

Why Should You Measure Pedestrian and Cyclist Traffic?

Accurate visitor data is essential for informed decision-making. It allows you to:

• Quantify the impact of new cycling infrastructure: Assess how footfall and cycling traffic evolve after creating new bike lanes, pedestrian zones, or greenways.
• Justify new investments: Use hard data to support funding requests from local governments, national agencies, or private partners.
• Analyze changes in usage patterns over time: Track seasonal fluctuations and daily peak times to optimize infrastructure usage.
• Adjust infrastructure and services based on real needs: Improve security, adapt maintenance schedules, and optimize parking solutions for bicycles and other active mobility devices.
