Smart City Projects
Below is a selected overview of reference projects dedicated to smart city applications, highlighting our expertise in deploying integrated solutions for urban traffic management, access control, environmental monitoring, and data-driven mobility services, supporting safer, more efficient, and sustainable city infrastructures.
Bicycle traffic counting in Rhineland-Palatinate
COUNTRY: Germany
DESCRIPTION:
This project relies on state-of-the-art technology: cyclists are detected using Tattile laser counting system, in collaboration with Neo.Sens. This precise method allows for accurate data collection at strategically selected counting points along federal, state and county roads, as well as in cities and rural areas.
The growing popularity of bikes is expanding the range of many cyclists, even in the low mountain ranges of Rhineland-Palatinate, making such analyses indispensable. Comark LSR200BC detector uses laser technology to correctly detect bicycles, pedestrians and e-scooters. The laser detector is able to count and classify between bicycles, e-scooters and pedestrians while maintaining total anonymity.
Compared to other simpler counting systems, the sensor is very accurate in detecting bicycles, pedestrians and e-scooters even if they transit in groups. It performs continuous scans across the width of the cycle path and can distinguish individual bicycles, even when they are very close together.
The detector has been designed to work outdoors, even in adverse weather conditions, from both the mechanical and firmware points of view. Installation is quick and non-intrusive since it does not require any intervention on the road surface.
This project is a key part of the Rhineland-Palatinate 2030 Cycling Development Plan. The plan was developed in collaboration with more than 40 partners from local authorities, associations and initiatives. The project supports cities and municipalities in establishing a safe and convenient network of cycle paths. The plan also aims to evaluate and justify measures to promote projects, such as the planned commuter route from Mainz to Ingelheim to Bingen.
Bike counter in Gravazze
COUNTRY: Italy
DESCRIPTION:
Cycle tourism is no longer just a trend, but a growing phenomenon. Every year, thousands of cyclists ride on roads, bike paths and nature trails, generating a significant impact on the local economy. Without accurate data, any decision becomes a leap of faith.
Many municipalities and provinces are gearing up to have these numbers as you can read from the article here. Bicycle counters allow you to collect reliable and detailed data on bicycle flow in your area. Thanks to these tools, you can know exactly how many cyclists pass by, at what times and on what routes. Data that makes all the difference when it comes to applying for funding, improving the road system, and supporting local tourism.
Without a monitoring system, you could:
- Miss funding opportunities for bicycle infrastructure.
- Fail to adequately value the areas most frequented by bicycle tourists.
- Make decisions based on assumptions instead of real data.
