Since the department has financed part of the project, it is necessary to provide it with regular encrypted data on the use of the new itinerary.
The choice of Kiomda was motivated by several criteria:
“The meters are discreet, attractive to integrate into the landscape, and easy to install.”
The data collected is used both:
The information is transmitted in the form of consolidated reports, facilitating the analysis of attendance trends.
The main purpose of the count was not to support a immediate decision making, but rather to assess The use of the soft link in relation to the departmental road.
The analysis of flows made it possible to better understand local mobilities and highlight unsuspected behaviors. A peak of use of Tuesday after 22:00 particularly surprised the municipal team. Thanks to the meter data, they discovered that they were the players on the local soccer team returning from their weekly training.
“We weren't expecting a peak in usage on Tuesday evening. Without the timer installed, we would never have learned that the soccer team was using this gentle link to return home after training.”
