RidePod BP

One counter. One dataset.

Extracting bicycles, e-scooters, and pedestrians from a stream of similar objects is a unique challenge. Our engineering team has applied their expertise in piezoelectric sensor technology and developed a reliable and consistent all-in-one solution.

The robust RidePod BP Bike & People Counter delivers precise year-round data, providing valuable insights into shared path usage, dynamic reports and interactive maps in ATLYST^®.

Year-Round Data

Two piezoelectric strips are permanently embedded in the bike path, enabling you to collect data for season trend analysis and year-to-year comparisons.

99% Accurate

Independent tests have proven that the BP is the most accurate option for monitoring bikes and e-scooters, including carbon fibre models.

Detailed Classification

Regardless of path users' direction, speed or position, the RidePod BP accurately identifies e-scooters, cyclist clusters and cargo bikes.

100% Solar-Powered

Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the RidePod BP uses replaceable batteries powered by solar panels.

Records in All Conditions

Unlike other sensors, this bike counter continues recording in all weather, temperature and lighting conditions.

Public Bike Data Display

You can share your bike and pedestrian data with the public by installing the RidePod QR bike display totem at the site. No mains power is required!

The MetroCount Bike Data Display is Here!

After years of R&D determining the best way for you to share the data you collect with the public, we have launched the RidePod QR! Installed at the side, this cost-effective and energy-efficient totem does not require any power and gives access to public data to any passerby with a smartphone.

The RidePod BP has been trouble-free, reliable, and accurate. It has worked through heat, heavy rain, and cold, and I see no reason why it would not operate properly in snowy conditions and handle snow-clearing maintenance.
