Count everywhere: our counters adapt to all your contexts
Pedestrian and cyclist counters have become indispensable tools for municipalities and urban planners aiming to monitor traffic flow in both urban and natural environments. These devices collect critical data that help improve soft mobility infrastructure, enhance site safety management, and sustainably plan for tourist flows.
1. Clamp Installation
This quick and temporary method is ideal for short-term counting or experimental projects. It requires no heavy tools or on-site work—simply attach the pedestrian and cyclist counters to existing poles (streetlights, signposts, crowd-control barriers, etc.).
Installation steps:
- Find a suitable post or support.
- Use metal or plastic clamps to secure the counter at the recommended height (usually about 0.8 m from the ground).
- Ensure the counter is stable and properly oriented to capture traffic flow.
Applications:
Perfect for moving counters across various locations, such as along cycling routes. Due to their lightweight and energy autonomy, Kiomda counters are ideal for monitoring footfall at events like trade fairs, concerts, marathons, or during peak tourist seasons.
2. Screw Mounting
A robust and permanent solution for locations where the counter needs to remain fixed long-term. In urban settings, it can be anchored to a wall; in natural spaces, it can be attached to a barrier, tree trunk, or wooden post.
Installation steps:
- Identify a flat, solid surface (wall, wooden post, etc.).
- Drill appropriate holes.
- Secure the counter using screws.
Applications:
Ideal for long-term counting, especially in cities or exposed areas like coastal trails or mountain paths.
3. Pole Installation (With or Without Concrete)
This durable installation method suits spaces where the counter must stay fixed for extended periods.
Installation steps:
- Dig a hole deep enough for proper anchoring (about 40–60 cm).
- Insert the pole into its base and fill with concrete for stabilization.
- Once the concrete has dried, screw the counter onto the pole.
Alternative (no concrete): Attach metal cross-braces to the base of the pole, insert it into the hole, and fill with stones to stabilize the counter while respecting natural site constraints.
Applications :
Perfect for sites lacking existing infrastructure, commonly used for monitoring cycling paths, shared-use routes, parks, hiking trails, pedestrian, or cycling spaces.
4. Embedded Pole Installation
This method involves integrating the counter directly inside a specially designed hollow wooden post (PEFC-certified), with an opening for data collection.
Installation steps:
- Receive the counter pre-installed inside the pole.
- Dig a hole deep enough for stable installation (about 40–60 cm).
- Secure the post with or without concrete.
Applications:
Frequently used in natural environments for landscape-friendly, durable installations, also suitable for the edges of shared-use paths.
Conclusion
Kiomda pedestrian and cyclist counters offer flexible installation methods to adapt to the specific constraints of each site—urban or natural—and allow for easy relocation.Whether for short-term campaigns or permanent monitoring, our versatile mounting options ensure seamless integration into your local context.
