Trails & Bridleways People Counting

People Counting

Also known as footfall counting, visitor counting, pedestrian counting, path counter and trail or track counting

People Counters

By implementing remote people counting solutions along pathways and bridleways will provide important insights into the usage of these areas, and can help ensure that they are being managed effectively for the benefit of both the environment and the community.

Automated people counting and car park vehicle counting can provide accurate data on the number of people and vehicles using these spaces over time, which can be useful for a variety of purposes.

One important benefit of these solutions is that they can help estimate the cost of maintenance and upkeep for these areas, based on the level of usage. This can inform decisions about when and where to allocate resources for cleaning, repairs, or other services, and can help ensure that these areas remain safe and enjoyable for visitors.

In addition, having accurate data on usage can help identify peak times of activity, which can inform decisions about the need for additional amenities or housekeeping services. For example, if a pathway or bridleway is particularly busy on weekends or holidays, it may be necessary to provide additional trash cans, restrooms, or other amenities to accommodate the increased usage.

Moreover, having this data can also be valuable when applying for grants or funding for these areas. Providing hard evidence of the number of people and vehicles using the space can help demonstrate the value of the investment and make a stronger case for additional funding or support.

Overall, automated people counting and vehicle counting and cycle counting systems can provide valuable insights into the usage of public spaces, and can help ensure that resources are being used effectively and efficiently. By using these tools to collect and analyse data, public officials and park managers can make informed decisions about how to manage and improve these important public resources for the benefit of all

ParkLife provide a number of solutions to monitor the use of an area; from discreet pressure pads, placed under the pathways to recycled posts designed to blend into the natural environment.
They can include a simple recycled box with dimensions of 180mm x 90mm x 60mm which can be fixed to an existing post or wall, the typical span/width of the cover is up to 8 metres.

Bicycle & Active Transport Counting

Also known as cycle counting, bike counting, mountain bike counter, trail counter, urban counter and route counter

Bicycle Counting

Along with bicycle counting, active transport counting (such as scooter) has also become an important tool for understanding how people are using public spaces. This includes counting the number of pedestrians, joggers, and other non-motorised users on pathways, bridges, and other public areas.

Active transport counting can help local governments and community organisations understand how people are using these areas and identify areas where improvements or additional resources may be needed.

It can also help promote the benefits of active transport and encourage more people to use these modes of transportation. Like bicycle counting, active transport counting can also provide valuable data for applying for grants or funding for these areas, as well as for evaluating the effectiveness of existing programs and initiatives. By having accurate data on the number of people using these areas, decision-makers can make more informed choices and ensure that resources are being used effectively and efficiently

ParkLife provide a number of solutions, including break-beam, pressure pads and systems designed to count cycles (including those with carbon fiber frames) and scooters.
Parklife also provide short term solutions for surveys and pop-up stores

Vehicle, Carpark Counting & Alerting

Also known as car park counting urban vehicle counting, gate counting access counter & multi use counter

Vehicle Track, Remote Carpark & Road Counting: with alerts

Monitoring local and remote roads, vehicle tracks, and car parks has become essential in measuring the impact on the environment, planning for maintenance and conservation. Installing remote vehicle monitoring solutions can provide valuable data on the number of vehicles that are using these areas, as well as the times and days of usage.

Having accurate data on the number of vehicles using these areas can help estimate the need for housekeeping and maintenance services, evaluate any investment, and provide hard evidence when applying for grants or funding. Additionally, this data can be used to set tariffs or fees for using these areas, ensuring that resources are being used effectively and efficiently.

Automated monitoring solutions can provide a simple and cost-effective way to collect data on vehicle usage, and the data collected over time can help identify trends and changes in usage patterns. This can help with long-term planning and decision-making, and can ensure that these areas are being managed in an environmentally sustainable way.

Overall, implementing remote monitoring solutions for vehicle tracking and car park counting can provide valuable insights into the usage of these areas and help ensure that they are being managed effectively for the benefit of both the environment and the community

The solutions we provide range from using an above ground mobile recycled box to an under surface embedded device. In addition the solution can send alerts when the carparking is used out of hours for anti social behaviour
Parklife also provide short term solutions for surveys and pop-up stores

Small Vessel & Kayak Counting

Also known as boat counting, river user counting, canal user counter, waterway counter and route counter

Small boat and Kayak Counter

As the number of people enjoying our rivers and canals continues to grow, it has become increasingly important to monitor their usage. Having accurate data on the number of small boats and kayaks using these waterways can help in a number of important ways, such as understanding the need for repair and upkeep, valuing the investment in these areas, and providing evidence when applying for funding. In addition to helping with relations and informing local fishermen

Automated monitoring solutions, such as discreet or low-level counters, can provide an unobtrusive way to collect data on the number of users of these waterways. This information can be used to identify patterns in usage over time, and to plan for maintenance and improvement of these valuable natural resources.

Furthermore, having this data can be useful when negotiating with anglers, nature reserve conservationists, and local government officials. Being able to provide accurate information on the number of small boats and kayaks using these waterways can help inform discussions and ensure that these areas are being managed effectively for the benefit of all.

Overall, implementing monitoring solutions for small boat and kayak usage can provide valuable insights into the usage of our waterways, and help ensure that they are being managed in a sustainable and responsible manner.

ParkLife provide a number of solutions to monitor the use of waterways and the path’s around them; from discreet pressure pads, placed under the pathways, recycled posts designed to blend into the natural environment, and low level counters set into existing hardware such as bridges and locks.
