Improve traffic safety around schools with smart data solutions
Traffic safety around schools is an urgent issue for municipalities, parents and schools. Children are vulnerable road users and unsafe situations occur more often than you think. Fortunately, today there are smart solutions to identify and deal with risks.
Smart traffic data as basis for safe school environments
Improving traffic safety around schools starts with insight. Without data, you're in the dark. Smart sensors collect objective information about traffic flows, speed and congestion. So you can see exactly where bottlenecks lie.
MultiSensors provides technology that collects traffic data quickly and reliably. Thanks to the Quanta sensor, you have insight into the behavior of cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles. This way you don't make decisions based on gut feeling, but on facts.
Our technology
This is how data collection with innovative sensors works
With each project, we carefully coordinate objectives. Together with everyone involved, we determine what we are measuring, where and when. Because of this clear preparation, the process runs smoothly and in a structured way.
After the intake, we install our Quantaor Signum sensors. These are suitable for both temporary and permanent setups. No drastic changes are needed to the infrastructure of the school environment.
The Quanta Sensor
The Quanta sensor combines LiDAR and Radar technology to provide accurate measurements of cyclists, pedestrians and mixed traffic. This system operates entirely without cameras, so data can be collected without invading privacy. With over 95% accuracy, the Quanta sensor records the number of passersby, their speed, direction and time of passing. With flexible installation options, including autonomous operation via solar panels, the Quanta can be easily deployed in a variety of locations and is suitable for both temporary and permanent bicycle counts.
The Signum Cycle Counter
The Signum bicycle counter is a robust and reliable radar designed specifically for measuring bicycle intensity and speed in strategic locations. While ideal for long-term measurements with over 90% reliability, the Signum also offers the flexibility to be used for shorter or temporary bicycle counts. With anonymous and aggregated data collection, the Signum is fully AVG-compliant, meaning user privacy is maintained. This makes the system a sustainable and flexible alternative to manual or temporary measurement methods.
Detailed insights without invasion of privacy
Our sensors use radar and LiDAR technology. With these, they measure speeds, directions and the type of traffic participant up to 50 km/h. Cars, cyclists or pedestrians are automatically recognized.
Privacy is always maintained. The systems do not use cameras or identifiable personal data. They fully comply with the AVG, so you can apply them around schools without worry.
Real-time analytics through the My Cycle Traffic platform
All collected data enters our My Cycle Traffic platform. At a glance you can see peak moments, speed violations or dangerous crossing locations. That makes it easier to take action.
With clear graphs and tables, you can quickly make connections. Whether it's adjusting school hours, deploying additional traffic controllers or setting up a crosswalk: the data gives direction to every step.
Monitoring and maintenance: continuous reliable measurements
The work doesn't stop after installation. Through a smart dashboard, we monitor the operation of each sensor. Does something fail? Then we get immediate notification and fix the problem remotely or on-site.
This keeps the data quality high and you are always assured of reliable information. Especially in long-term projects around traffic safety around schools, this is essential.
Easy export and integration with other systems
The traffic data collected can be easily exported in various formats such as CSV or Excel. This allows you to link the data to your own systems or share it with policy makers and schools.
In addition, it is possible to transmit data directly to external platforms such as the National Road Traffic Data Portal. This also makes the information useful for broader mobility issues within your municipality.
Choose MultiSensors in school security
Our Quanta sensor is designed with flexibility and accuracy in mind. Installation is easy and reliability is high. You measure quickly without lengthy preparations or building modifications.
Municipalities, schools and consulting firms rely on MultiSensors for their mobility data. With us, you get clear insights that are directly applicable to the streets around the school. Your choices become measurable and substantiated.
Example of measures to improve traffic safety around schools:
- Establish school zones: Clear markings and speed limits around schools.
- Speed reduction measures: Speed humps and traffic ramps to reduce speed.
- Safe crosswalks: Construction of pedestrian crossings and traffic lights at crossing points.
- Employ traffic wardens: Volunteers help children cross safely.
- Improve bicycle and walking routes: Safe and clear routes for bicyclists and pedestrians.
- Modify parking policy: Limit parking directly in front of the school.
- Create Kiss & Ride zones: Separate zones for safely dropping off and picking up children.
- Traffic education in schools: road safety lesson programs for students.
- Engaging parents: Information nights and communication about safe behavior around school.
By combining these measures with MultiSensors' smart solutions, schools and municipalities can effectively work toward a safer environment for children.
