In many territories, mobilities are not isolated: pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles follow one another, intersect or use the same access. Sometimes in a shared space, sometimes in parallel circulations. The visual brings together the most common situations where several types of uses coexist — and where it becomes essential to know who is circulating, when and in what proportions.
In many sites, the uses are never homogeneous. Pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles sometimes travel in the same place, sometimes at different times, sometimes on parallel but interdependent paths. Without measurement, it is difficult to understand how these mobilities really combine: who uses the space, when, and in what proportions.
Each site blends uses in its own way. Some want to know only pedestrians in an area where bicycles also pass; others want to isolate bicycles from a path shared with vehicles; still others want to compare “soft mobility” and “motorized” without going into the details of each mode.
Our approach consists in distinguishing the different types of passages, then recomposing the indicators according to your objective:
The challenge is not to count everything everywhere, but to produce data that corresponds exactly to the question you are asking yourself:
Who's going around? When? In what proportion? In what dynamic over the seasons, hours or events?
This flexibility makes it possible to adapt the analysis to spaces that are sometimes shared, sometimes simply frequented by several modes at different times, without complicating your reading.
Customer cases
Kiomda counters support us in the development of our greenway, called to join Flow Vélo. The data allows us to monitor attendance, to distinguish between pedestrian/bicycle uses and to inform our decisions in terms of tourism, investments and soft mobility. We note that the itinerary works well, with a high number of visitors in fine weather and not only carried by tourists.
Traffic monitoring allows us to improve facilities, to assess the impact of new practices (mountain biking and trail) to find the right balance between our ideas, the acceptance or not of our citizens as well as the expectation of overtourism.
This works well, information on attendance led us to change the space counters in winter to use them for a second activity: snowshoeing
The municipality wants to measure attendance at a religious site accessible through three entry points. The count will be used to support a grant application and to better understand mixed flows. An adapted location makes it possible to obtain pedestrian and vehicle crossings, even if the road is two-way, by providing a reliable estimate of uses.
Installation of a unit dedicated to monitoring the attendance of a public car park. The data makes it possible to know the entrances and exits, to observe the periods of full occupancy and to facilitate the planning of services. The case is protected by an anti-vandalism cover to ensure its durability.
We use Kiomda meters to measure the attendance of a 5 km section built on an old railway line. The data makes it possible to demonstrate the value of the connection, to meet the requirements of funders and to better understand the uses (pedestrians/bicycles). They are used by elected officials as well as tourist offices to guide decisions and optimize services.
The Kiomda counters finally allow us to objectify the attendance of the Green Track, a strategic axis to encourage modal shift. The data is used to demonstrate to funders the real use of the infrastructure and to better understand practices: schedules, volumes, type of users. We plan to exploit the data more finely and to extend the system to our 200 km of trails.
The city uses a mobile box to measure bicycle, pedestrian and vehicle crossings on several sites: bike path, greenway, communal street. The data revealed more than 200 daily crossings on an axis where ten times fewer were expected. The itinerant solution makes it possible to test new routes, document the usefulness of developments and support local mobility policy.
In many sites, the uses are never homogeneous. Pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles sometimes travel in the same place, sometimes at different times, sometimes on parallel but interdependent paths. Without measurement, it is difficult to understand how these mobilities really combine: who uses the space, when, and in what proportions.
Cohabitation can seem fluid or conflicting at different times: measuring each use separately shows where and when interactions become sensitive.
To choose what to secure, where to appease or which mode to choose, you need to know the real part of each flow. Impressions are not enough to arbitrate.
Some modes dominate in the morning, others at the end of the day, others at the weekend or during the tourist season. Separating uses makes it possible to identify these rhythms.
The distinction between modes sheds light on applications from elected officials, technical services or funders: soft, motorized, mixed mobility... each category has its own impact.
Bicycle path, greenway, peaceful area: distinguishing who is really using the space makes it possible to assess whether the development is achieving its objective or if an adjustment is necessary.
In many places, cohabitation seems homogeneous, although it varies greatly depending on the time of day or mode. The measure reveals these nuances and avoids hasty conclusions.
Motorised contexts do not always require heavy systems. Verdilo provides a simple, autonomous approach to measure vehicle passages in controlled accesses, car parks, narrow streets and shared routes. Its technical characteristics are designed to deliver reliable, actionable data that is quick to deploy — with no civil works and no power supply.
Works without power supply (Autonomy estimated at more than 2 olds).
Set up in 2 minutes, with no expertise required, delivered ready to use.
Designed for outdoor conditions, in natural or urban environments.
No images saved, RGPD compliance.
Clear reading of the directions of passage and differentiation between pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles.
