signum bicycle counters
Continuous and reliable bicycle counts, 24/7 and year-round
Reliable bicycle data forms the basis for well-founded mobility policy. With the Signum bicycle counter, you can continuously measure how many cyclists pass by, how fast they are riding, and in which direction. Fully automatic, privacy-friendly, and reliable under all circumstances. This provides structural insight into bicycle flows, traffic density, and traffic flow, without relying on snapshots or manual counts.
Why use Signum?
Municipalities and road authorities need continuous, consistent cycling data to support policy, investments, and measures. Signum was developed for situations where simplicity, reliability, and continuity are key.
By measuring 24/7, insight is gained into daily patterns, seasonal influences, peak loads, and trends over a longer period of time. This makes Signum a stable basis for both analysis and accountability.
Continuous measurements, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Reliable in all weather and lighting conditions
No interventions in the road surface required
Low installation and maintenance requirements
Privacy-friendly and fully GDPR-compliant
Suitable for temporary and permanent use
Reliable measurement without complexity
Signum is designed as a robust and accessible bicycle counter. The sensor automatically records the number, speed, and direction of cyclists, without having to distinguish between vehicle categories.
The radar technology ensures stable measurements, even at high intensities, bicycle traffic jams, and changing weather conditions. As a result, Signum provides consistent data in locations where traditional measurement methods often fall short.
What Signum measures
The Signum bicycle counter records the following data per measuring point:
Number of cyclists passing by
Speed of cyclists
Direction of travel
Time of passage
Intensities per time interval
This data makes it possible to objectively visualize traffic congestion, traffic flow, and speed developments, both on a daily basis and over longer periods.
From measurement to insight
The data from Signum is accessed via the MyCycleTraffic platform. Here, measurements are clearly visualized and analyzed, with options for filtering, reporting, and exporting.
Data can easily be used for policy reports, evaluations, and investment justification. In addition, linking to external systems is possible, including national data sources.
Practical applications
Signum is used in a variety of locations and for different purposes, such as:
- Monitoring of bike paths and through-cycle routes
- Insight into bicycle traffic on urban corridors
- Evaluation of infrastructure interventions
- Justification of road safety measures
- Structural counts to replace counting weeks and snapshots
Thanks to its simple installation and reliable operation, Signum is widely applicable in both urban and regional networks.
Installation and placement
The Signum bicycle counter is installed contactlessly, without any intervention in the road surface. It is mounted on existing objects such as posts or masts, usually at a height of approximately 1.5 meters.
This method ensures quick and efficient installation and leaves the public space intact. This makes Signum suitable for both temporary studies and long-term, permanent monitoring.
Impact on policy and implementation
Signum provides organizations with a stable and continuous data stream that enables them to:
- Providing insight into trends and patterns in bicycle mobility
- Objectively substantiate traffic volume and flow
- Better accountability for policy choices and investments
- Be less dependent on incidental counts
- Creating a single uniform measurement basis for multiple applications
In summary: Signum provides peace of mind, continuity, and reliability in bicycle data.
