Bicycle counts

In many municipalities, bicycle flows are crucial for mobility planning, but often there is limited insight into actual bicycle movements. MultiSensors' Quanta sensor gives you access to detailed data such as the number of cyclists, their speed, direction, time of passing and weather conditions. In addition to bicycle traffic, you can also accurately map other road users, such as pedestrians and mixed traffic. The Quanta is easy to move and can operate autonomously via a solar panel, making it deployable in both busy and quiet locations.
Our sensor delivers valuable insights, ideal for cycling policy and testing new cycling infrastructure. Thanks to AVG-proof technology, with no use of cameras, cyclists' privacy remains fully protected.

How Do Our Bicycle Counters Work?

MultiSensors offers two versatile solutions for bicycle counts: the Quanta sensor and the Signum bicycle counter. Depending on the situation and the specific needs of the project, one of these advanced systems can be chosen.

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 more than 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 counting. 

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 counts. Due to the 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.

Choose the Right Sensor for Your Project

The combination of the Quanta and Signum gives municipalities and organizations the flexibility to collect the right data at any time and for any situation. Both systems provide valuable insights and help optimize bicycle policy and infrastructure planning, whether for short-term analyses or ongoing monitoring.

4. Real-time Insights in My Cycle Traffic.

Through the My Cycle Traffic platform, you have instant access to real-time data on the number of cyclists, their speed, and direction, so you can make informed decisions quickly.

How Do You Integrate Our Bicycle Counters into Your Infrastructure?

Our bicycle counters are easy to integrate into virtually any infrastructure, for both temporary and permanent setups. The Quanta sensor can be attached to existing light poles or traffic poles, eliminating the need for major modifications. We also offer custom solutions for companies that want to use mobile poles or other specific structures. Our sensors are weatherproof and low maintenance, and flexible power options such as solar panels, mast power or a battery allow the Quanta sensor to be deployed in a variety of locations, from busy urban areas to remote routes.

The sensors are designed to be weatherproof, meaning they remain reliable in all conditions while requiring little maintenance. With flexible power options such as solar panels, pole power or battery power, the Quanta sensor is suitable for a variety of locations and applications, from busy urban areas to remote locations.

Additional Options:

Energy Supply:

  • Solar panels and battery: Fully autonomous, suitable for permanent and temporary counting.
  • Power supply from mast in combination with battery: Suitable for permanent and temporary setups.
  • Battery: For short-term, temporary measurements of several weeks.

Cycling set display:

Pair the Quanta with a cyclist display to visibly promote cycling. The display shows live numbers of cyclists and has an awareness-raising effect on road users.

Data Insight with My Cycle Traffic Understanding Bicycle Movements for Effective Mobility Planning

The My Cycle Traffic platform provides instant access to accurate and reliable data on bicycle flows. This platform collects real-time data on the number of cyclists, their speed, direction and time of passing. These insights are ideal for mobility modeling and support the optimization of bicycle facilities and infrastructure.
My Cycle Traffic enables easy data analysis, trend discovery, and reporting for policy making. In addition, the data can be integrated with proprietary data platforms via API links, or exported in various formats for seamless integration into other systems.
