In September 2013 Grontmij conducted tests with three bicycle counting systems at Kral-ingseweg, Rotterdam. Besides the Dinaf count tubes already present at the test location, two other counting systems were deployed for the tests:
MetroCount MC5720: using piezoelectric strips;
EcoCounter: using an induction loop glued to the bicycle path.

Designed for hassle-free surveys, the RoadPod® VL series uses embedded inductive loops to provide long-term traffic data. This modular system is an economical and efficient solution for monitoring both a one-lane road or a busy sixteen-lane highway, and can also be retrofitted to existing loops.
For vehicle volumes only, please see our RoadPod® VL5805 model.
MetroCount’s inductive loop systems are built from simple and affordable components. Besides enabling an easy and accessible installation, the MC5810 can also connect to loops already embedded on the road. Contractors familiar with traffic signal sensors will find the setup particularly effortless.
RoadPod® VL 5810 offers a set of diagnostic tools bundled in the MTE software. Loop Scope provides feedback on the condition of loops. Meanwhile, Loop Monitor tests connections and crimp terminals. Together they identify any faults in the setup process and supply a full diagnostic of the equipment.
