Bike and Vehicle Monitoring in Utrecht, the Netherlands
In Utrecht, the public buses are affecting traffic, with great pressure on the road pavement and increased congestion levels. It’s for this reasons why the local municipality has decided the Nelson Mandela bridge is due for a redesign. Currently, the bridge has one sidewalk, one bidirectional traffic lane and one bidirectional cycling path. The changes involve moving the bus lane in the middle of the road and adding pedestrian and cycling facilities on each side of the road.

It was truly an eye opener to realise how much information can be collected from a couple of rubber tubes.
MetroCount are the only vehicle classifiers that I use for my business. The counters have worked in temperatures of -30c to +40c accurately. I set up my machines from the offi ce using MTE which is fast and easy. Less time on the side of the road makes it much safer for all of us.
