Measuring actual attendance at sports facilities: feedback from experiments in Parisian gymnasiums

Between November 2025 and February 2026, Kiomda conducted an experiment in Paris aimed at objectifying the attendance of its sports facilities. Ten municipal gymnasiums have been equipped with automatic counting sensors developed by Kiomda. More than 200,000 crossings have been recorded, i.e. nearly 500 daily crossings per site. This experiment, conducted as part of the Paris Challenges carried out by Paris&Co with the support of the City of Paris, aimed to compare real attendance data with traditional declarative data and to reveal uses that were hitherto invisible in traditional monitoring systems.

Kiomda referenced by the Public Transport Purchasing Center

Kiomda is now referenced by the Public Transport Purchasing Center (CATP). This decision concerns two strategic lots: non-intrusive pedestrian counters (excluding cameras) and non-intrusive above-ground bicycle/pedestrian counters (excluding cameras). This reference validates the technical robustness of Kiomda solutions and their suitability to the challenges of measuring active mobility in public transport environments.

What is the ROI for a passage counter? How to justify the investment to elected officials

The question of the return on investment of a passage meter comes up systematically during budgetary arbitrations within local authorities. How to justify the purchase of counting sensors from elected officials subject to strict budgetary constraints? The answer is not found in a classical accounting calculation, but in understanding the value generated by attendance data: ability to capture subsidies, to assess the real impact of developments, to justify investment decisions and to avoid costly mistakes. A meter is not an expense: it is a management tool that produces usable data to reduce uncertainty and guide strategic choices. This article explains how to build a solid case to defend investing in attendance measurement.

Real-time counting vs delayed synchronization: what data architecture for your project?

The debate between real time and delayed synchronization is often misunderstood in attendance counting projects. Many project owners think that real time is necessarily superior, although it is above all a question of use, technical constraints and cost. A real-time system involves always-on connectivity, a stable network infrastructure, and a software architecture that can manage incoming data flows continuously. Delayed synchronization allows sensors to operate independently, store data locally, and transmit data periodically according to a predefined schedule. Between these two models, there is no universal answer: there are use cases, field constraints and budgetary trade-offs. This article explains when to choose one or the other, and why delayed synchronization perfectly meets most territorial needs.

Wi-Fi tracking vs pedestrian counting sensor: why is smartphone tracking no longer enough?

Wi-Fi tracking is often presented as a simple solution for measuring the use of public spaces: smartphones emit signals, all you have to do is count them. In reality, the implementation is more complex. It requires the installation of dedicated equipment and raises specific regulatory issues. Faced with this approach, autonomous thermal sensors propose a different logic, based on the physical detection of passages. This comparison analyzes in detail the technical, operational and regulatory differences between Wi-Fi tracking and autonomous sensors for pedestrian counting.

Sports infrastructures: measuring to better share

Some areas are stormed during peak hours, while others remain virtually unoccupied. This inequality of use complicates planning and creates a feeling of injustice.

La gestion intelligente des flux : un enjeu stratégique pour les espaces publics en Espagne

Dans un contexte de pression croissante sur les espaces publics – des centres urbains aux parcs naturels –, les collectivités locales et régionales espagnoles font face à un défi de taille : anticiper et gérer les flux de personnes pour protéger les sites fragiles, améliorer l’expérience des usagers et prendre des décisions éclairées.

Mobility data: a strategic asset for rethinking territories

At a time when the legal framework for data transfers to the United States is wavering, the issue of digital sovereignty is becoming urgent. This context highlights a strategic challenge: how to produce, use and protect sensitive data independently? Since its creation, Kiomda has offered a concrete response to this problem, with local, anonymous and sovereign mobility data.
