RidePod BP

The City of Fremantle in Western Australia is revolutionising the way they visualise and make use of traffic data across their road and cycling network. Since December 2019 they have been using MetroCount’s new traffic data analytics and survey management tool ATLYST to improve road safety, traffic management and infrastructure planning.

By automatically plotting data on an interactive map, ATLYST has allowed the City to quickly identify trends, such as a large increase in cyclists during coronavirus restrictions, and to spot rat-running, streets prone to speeding and areas with high heavy vehicle use.

Le confinement COVID de la semaine dernière à Perth, en Australie, a souligné la valeur de la collecte de données sur le trafic en temps réel pour surveiller les mouvements de véhicules pendant les périodes critiques.

Collecter des données précises à partir de chaque véhicule et présenter les informations en temps réel a, jusqu’à présent, été tout un défi. Cependant, après de nombreuses années de recherche et de tests, MetroCount a développé un système innovant qui fait exactement cela de manière fiable.

I nostri partner in Cile, il Grupo DPS, hanno intrapreso un grande progetto di monitoraggio di bici nella regione di Aysén, installando 17 contatori permanenti RidePod^® BP. Fondato nel 2014, il Grupo DPS dispone di un team di ingegneri del traffico dedicati alla gestione di progetti in corso nelle regioni meridionali (Coyhaique), centrali (Santiago, Rancagua) e settentrionali (Copiapo, Calama) del paese. Abbiamo contattato Pablo Villarroel (Project Manager) per saperne di più sul monitoraggio delle biciclette in Cile.

2020 has been a year of massive, unexpected change. No one could predict the effects of a global pandemic on society, yet the impact of COVID on cycling has been truly astonishing, especially in Brooklyn.

Our partners in Chile, the Grupo DPS have undertaken a large bike monitoring project in the Aysén Region, installing 17 permanent RidePod® BP bike counters. Founded in 2014, Groupo DPS, have a team of dedicated traffic engineers managing ongoing projects in the southern (Coyhaique), central (Santiago, Rancagua) and the northern (Copiapo, Calama) regions of the country. We got in contact with Pablo Villarroel (Project Manager) to learn more about monitoring bikes in Chile.

2020 has been a year of massive, unexpected change. No one could predict the effects of a global pandemic on society, yet the impact of COVID on cycling has been truly astonishing, especially in Brooklyn.

With trials of light segregation of cyclists piloted in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, planners needed short term data to evaluate how the treatments affected cyclists. The borough utilised Portable Bike Counters supplied by MetroCount to gather specific cycling numbers over a 7 day period at two trial locations.

“By shifting our focus our social impact has become a lot bigger.”

Il lockdown della scorsa settimana a Perth, in Australia, ha evidenziato il valore della raccolta di dati sul traffico in tempo reale per monitorare i movimenti dei singoli veicoli durante i momenti critici.

Raccogliere dati accurati da ogni singolo veicolo e presentare le informazioni in tempo reale è stato, fino ad ora, piuttosto impegnativo. Tuttavia, dopo molti anni di ricerca e test, MetroCount ha sviluppato un sistema innovativo che lo fa in modo affidabile.

Onze partners in Chili, de Grupo DPS hebben een groot fietsmonitoringproject uitgevoerd in de regio Aysén, waarbij 17 permanente RidePod® BP-fietstellers zijn geïnstalleerd. Groupo DPS, opgericht in 2014, heeft een team van toegewijde verkeersingenieurs die lopende projecten beheren in de zuidelijke (Coyhaique), centrale (Santiago, Rancagua) en noordelijke (Copiapo, Calama) regio's van het land. We namen contact op metPablo Villarroel (projectmanager) om meer te weten te komen over het monitoren van fietsen in Chili. 

Last week’s COVID lockdown in Perth, Australia highlighted the value of real-time traffic data collection for monitoring individual vehicle movements during critical times.

Collecting accurate data from every single vehicle and presenting the information in real-time has, until now, been quite the challenge. However, after many years of research and testing, MetroCount have developed an innovative system that reliably does just this.

Nuestros socios chilenos, Grupo DPS, han emprendido un gran proyecto de monitoreo de bicicletas en la Región de Aysén. Fundado en 2014, el Groupo DPS cuenta con un equipo de ingenieros de tráfico dedicados que administran proyectos en las regiones del sur (Coyhaique), central (Santiago, Rancagua) y norte (Copiapó, Calama) del país. Hablamos con Pablo Villarroel (Gerente de Proyectos) para saber más sobre sus trabajos de monitoreo con los contadores permanentes RidePod^® BP.

2020 est une année de changements massifs et inattendus. Personne ne pouvait prédire les effets d’une pandémie mondiale sur la société, mais l’impact du COVID sur le cyclisme a été vraiment étonnant, en particulier à Brooklyn.

“Spostando il nostro focus, il nostro impatto sociale è diventato molto più grande.”

Con la continua crescita della popolazione e l'urbanizzazione in corso, emergono numerose sfide legate alla mobilità. Sostenibilità, sicurezza e impatto sociale sono tra le nostre preoccupazioni quotidiane. Dobbiamo accelerare la transizione della mobilità per tenere il passo con le dinamiche globali in rapida evoluzione, il che richiede approcci inventivi e soluzioni migliori. Noi di MetroCount ricerchiamo ispirazione e innovazione a livello globale. Il nostro Business Development Manager, Maurice Berger, vuole aumentare il suo impatto sociale e accelerare la transizione della mobilità.

La ville de Fremantle, en Australie-Occidentale, révolutionne la façon dont elle visualise et utilise les données de trafic sur son réseau routier et cyclable. Depuis décembre 2019, ils utilisent le nouvel outil d’analyse de données de trafic et de gestion d’enquête ATLYST de MetroCount pour améliorer la sécurité routière, la gestion du trafic et la planification des infrastructures.

En traçant automatiquement les données sur une carte interactive, ATLYST a permis à la Ville d’identifier rapidement les tendances, telles qu’une forte augmentation du nombre de cyclistes pendant les restrictions de coronavirus, et de repérer les bouchons, les rues sujettes à la vitesse et les zones à forte utilisation de véhicules lourds.

De COVID-lockdown van vorige week in Perth, Australië, benadrukte de waarde van realtime verzameling van verkeersgegevens voor het volgen van individuele voertuigbewegingen tijdens kritieke tijden.

Het verzamelen van nauwkeurige gegevens van elk voertuig en het presenteren van de informatie in realtime was tot nu toe een behoorlijke uitdaging. Na vele jaren van onderzoek en testen heeft MetroCount echter een innovatief systeem ontwikkeld dat dit op betrouwbare wijze doet.

Con las pruebas de segregación ligera para ciclistas realizadas en el distrito londinense de Barking y Dagenham, los planificadores necesitaban datos a corto plazo para evaluar cómo las intervenciones afectaban a los ciclistas. El distrito utilizó contadores de bicicletas portátiles suministrados por MetroCount para recopilar cifras específicas de ciclismo durante un período de 7 días en dos ubicaciones de prueba.
