<H4>MetroCount launches bicycle- and pedestrian-counting system at Traffex</H4> <P> <P><STRONG>Australian developer and supplier of traffic monitoring equipment MetroCount is launching a new bicycle and pedestrian counting system today (April 4) at Traffex 2017, which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham, UK.</STRONG></P> <P>Accurately monitoring active modes of transportation is a difficult problem to master. On shared paths, separating pedestrians and bicycles from a stream of similar objects, such as prams, shopping trolleys and skateboards, is a unique challenge. Both people and cyclists often travel in groups, making it even more difficult to accurately count each person or bike. To add further complexity to the problem, cyclists are people, but they should not mistakenly be counted as pedestrians. Engineers at the MetroCount R&amp;D facility in Perth, Australia, have gained a strong understanding of these challenges, over many years of research, and applied their expertise in piezoelectric sensor technology to develop a world first bike and people counter: the RidePod BP.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>**원문보기</P> <P><A href=&quot;http://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=84716&quot; target=_blank>http://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=84716</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><IMG alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://cms.ukintpress.com/UserFiles/4_%20MetroCount%20RidePod%20BP%20bike-and-pedestrian-counter.jpg&quot; width=524 align=left height=173></P>
