High accuracy cycle and pedestrian counting

With the launch of the Compact PLUS Cycle & Pedestrian, TagMaster introduces the latest generation of technology into the marketplace for permanent cycle and pedestrian counting. The highly accurate and flexible system is perfect for obtaining trends over time and allows for the comparison of trends over consecutive months, seasons, or years. Real-time communication provides instant data to allow users to understand the potential impact on services and infrastructure.

The Compact PLUS Cycle & Pedestrian uses loop, piezo and pyroelectrical infrared sensors to precisely analyse the sensor output profile of each event using advanced signal processing. The unit measures the axle count, speed, and wheelbase for accurate counting and distinguishes cycles from prams, trolleys, motor bikes and mopeds using loop or piezo sensors. Built-in algorithms detect and report direction for pedestrians, cycles, cycle clusters (piezo only), cycles in two directions, cycles in parallel with pedestrians, and non-metallic cycles (piezo only). It also matches pedestrian and cycle data to avoid the riders of the cycles being counted as pedestrians.

Standalone system with battery or solar power

The system is ideal for deploying on cycle paths and shared lanes with pedestrians and is an easy-to-use standalone system utilising battery* or solar power options. PoE is also built-in as an alternative power option. The device is fully IP66 compliant while SIM card and memory card are still easily accessible. The unit has a built-in calibration process that will adjust the piezo settings automatically to achieve the best accuracy for cycle detection.

*As batteries are consumables and their lifetime is subject to handling and maintenance, the batteries are not included as part of the standard product warranty

 Secure and easy installation

The unit has Bluetooth for easy installation and configuration. Smart security is implemented to ensure the high level of security that is a cornerstone of the TagMaster products and combine this with the easy-of-use that is expected. A physical paring (requiring access to the padlock of the equipment) is always used when establishing a connection for the very first time. Later use of a Bluetooth connection with the same device is done via a unique password in the background, without requiring any specific user interaction.

All tools needed in Android app

It is supported by EasySetup, a modern and very well-designed Android app for setup. This provides all the tools needed for site installation and commissioning, site validation and fault diagnostics as well as manual data collection if required. The Compact PLUS Cycle & Pedestrian is compatible with all TagMaster Traffic Monitoring software products and is UTMC compatible in conjunction with the Catalyst. The middleware EasyData offers a Rest API running as a Docker image
