Hello,
We would like to share this resource with you: Counting Bicyclists and Pedestrians to
Inform Transportation
Planning<http://www.activelivingresearch.org/bikepedcounts>
This brief describes a number of technologies for counting bicycles and pedestrians and
the benefits and challenges associated with different approaches. It also explains how
counting data can be used to inform transportation planning, presents trends in levels of
bicycle and pedestrian activity, and illustrates one goal of non-motorized traffic
monitoring, namely, estimating bicycle and pedestrian traffic on streets in cities and
towns.
You can also find several other resources on our
website<http://www.activelivingresearch.org/taxonomy/transportation> to help you
create more physically active and healthier communities. For example, check out our
colorful, eye-catching
infographic<http://www.activelivingresearch.org/blog/2012/07/node/12689&… on the role
of transportation in promoting walking and biking.
