Connected to sensitive piezoelectric strips, the RoadPod® VP traffic counter provides the highest-accuracy axle-based classification available. With incredible power efficiency, the system is designed for long-term recording. Power is supplied by the internal battery and the cabinet-mounted solar panel.
The RoadPod® VP offers the highest level of detail for a permanent traffic survey system. When displayed in ATLYST®, VP data effectively reveals traffic patterns and anomalies in your network.
During installation, the piezoelectric sensors require only two shallow and narrow cuts in the pavement. The flexibility and lightness of the piezoelectric strips enable them to comply with a range of road profiles, ensuring durability and reliability.

The Council has installed MetroCount permanent traffic counters at 14 sites across the region. Now, we can see seasonal differences in road network use, such as changes in holiday periods compared to school terms or changes to the road network due to roadworks or new roads opening.
