Bike Data Recording Hardware
Our RidePod® BT tube counting system was selected for recording data. With consistent performance in a range of conditions (if cyclists can ride there, they will be counted) and industry-leading accuracy, the RidePod BT is a proven technology.
The counters will be coupled with the remote access services. A portable, battery-powered 3G module will deliver daily site diagnostics, including battery life and sensor balance allowing any hardware issues to be rectified promptly. With a strong emphasis on collecting contiguous data, remote access bridges the physical gap between users and sites, removing the need for regular visits.
Bike Data Analysis
The RidePod BT systems will record bike axle timestamps to deliver statistics on volume, speed, direction of travel, vehicle length (to identify scooters) and gaps. Data from MetroCount hardware will feed into the Basec web-based analysis system, providing map-based visualisation of bike data for each site. All raw MetroCount files will remain available for extended analysis in MTE, while Basec will plot broad summaries of each site on the map. Basec has forged a strong relationship with MetroCount data, so we are looking forward to working together on this project.
