Pedestrian counts

Knowing how many people are out and about in the streets of the city at all times is hugely powerful.

Our pedestrian count data is used in making lease decisions and productivity analysis, and helps us recognise the effects of activity like events, public holidays and the Christmas shopping rush.

Our system captures how many people are moving past each of our monitoring sites in real time, and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
