Telraam

Affordable and yet intricate traffic counts of traffic volumes are essential for transport-related studies.  Within the 'Telraam‘-project, we developed an integrated application based on low-cost hardware and a public online platform allowing citizens to perform traffic counts. Pedestrians, cyclists, cars and heavy vehicles are each counted  individually when passing along the traffic count sensor.  The resulting traffic data can be used to perform traffic engeneering studies.  This way, citizens and citizen platforms get objective data, allowing them to engage in a dialogue with their local government.  This could result in actions such as for instance a modification of the driving direction, the redesign of the public space, an improvent of the cycling conditions, or a modification of the parking facilities. TML develops the architecture, the hardware and the software for the sensor.
