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.

The VT4 system enables short-term, comprehensive data collection from all lanes of busy traffic highways. Using four pneumatic tubes, one counter can simultaneously collect data from two neighbouring traffic lanes.
The two data communication channels are set up together but collect data from individual lanes. During the setup, a strict lockdown is introduced to block data from the short tube lane from also being recorded by the long tubes. The two lanes of traffic are further distinguished during the unloading process, resulting in two highly accurate and comprehensive datasets.

Gain Insights
Accurate data from adjacent lanes will often reveal patterns, such as a high volume of heavy vehicles preferring to travel in a certain lane.
