Understanding traffic patterns is essential for creating efficient and safe roadways. From informing infrastructure design to guiding road safety initiatives and pavement maintenance schedules, traffic data is the backbone of smart urban planning.
At the forefront of the field, MetroCount is the pioneering force behind the tube counter technology now used in about 135 countries. Over the past 30 years, our car counter range has diversified, offering short-term, continuous, and real-time traffic data collection solutions.
From highways to city streets, there's a RoadPod counter for you. Our secret? Transforming precise data into actionable insights, all from ultra-reliable, energy-efficient sensors.

Real-time traffic data success story: Roading Logistics, New Zealand
"We were so impressed with the timeliness of the installation of the RoadPod VM, taking a total of just 1 hour on a carriageway of a 4-lane road."
Measuring ecological impact of traffic in rural Colorado
The United States Geological Survey team analysed traffic data and animal movement data to inform seasonal road closures and to understand the overall environmental impact of motorised traffic in remote Colorado.
We examine different applications of our inductive loop counter. From using year-round loop data in conjunction with short-term tube data in Scotland to retrofitting RoadPod VL counters in Cornwall, the UK.
