Gateshead Council
Gateshead Council recognised the need for an automatic pedestrian counting system to accurately monitor foot traffic in high streets. The data collected will be essential for evaluating the effectiveness of initiatives aimed at supporting the reopening of these areas and will inform future reviews. This initiative is part of the council’s broader strategy to revitalise high streets and transform them into vibrant community hub.
Aims
Solutions
- R-Com IoT VT Footfall counting system
- R-Com Cloud Based Reporting Platform
- R-Com IoT Roaming Multi Network SIM
- Footfall Data Count and Occupancy in real-time
- Multiple stakeholder access to our Cloud Based Platform for real time and historical data set reporting
Benefits
Additionally, the data collected by the sensors is helping the council to understand occupancy rates in different parts of the city. This information can be used to better determine store locations or optimise foot traffic in existing spaces. Overall, the data collected by the pedestrian counting sensors is helping Gateshead council to make informed decisions about planning and zoning.
Next Steps
When the council first came to us, they were looking for a way to get a better understanding of foot traffic in the city. We provided them with software that helped them to count and analyse the raw data from the sensors. After seeing the benefits of the system, they decided to use similar vehicle software to contribute to their long-term strategy to create a safer environment. Now, they are installing vehicle counters to get a better understanding of how people are travelling in the city. By improving their data collection and analysis, they hope to be able to improve pedestrian travel and make the city a more enjoyable place to live. Thanks to our systems, they now have the tools they need to make this happen.
