Justify a departmental subsidy

Thanks to the Kiomda meter we can compare the regular use of the departmental road and that of the soft link. But in any case, we better understand our local mobility flows, which is useful for us in general.

Essential data to justify a departmental subsidy

As part of the development of a Soft connection parallel to a departmental road, the town of Beaupréau-en-Mauges has installed a Kiomda counter in order to measure the use of this infrastructure. 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:

Quick and easy installation, allowing immediate implementation.
Discreet and aesthetic sensors, integrating perfectly into the landscape.
A reliable solution, providing usable figures to justify public investment.

“The meters are discreet, attractive to integrate into the landscape, and easy to install.”

Follow-up for elected officials and technical teams

The data collected is used both:

At the communal level, for elected officials and technical teams in charge of mobility and infrastructure.
At the departmental level, to justify the use of the soft link and to ensure the monitoring of flows in connection with road development.

The information is transmitted in the form of consolidated reports, facilitating the analysis of attendance trends.

Data that reveals unexpected uses

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.”

A solution that facilitates the monitoring of local mobilities

Thanks to Kiomda meters, the municipality of Beaupréau-en-Mauges now has a reliable and continuous measurement of attendance of his sweet relationship. This data allows him not only to justify the departmental subsidy, but also to better understand local travel habits.
