Complete description

SLABs are invisible, below-ground pedestrian counters that evaluate trends over time in natural and urban areas. They currently count on the European E4 trail, the Manitou Incline trail in Colorado, in Vancouver's regional parks, to name a few. This solution is perfect for tracking footfall without disrupting the landscape and without being seen. 

How this invisible, high-precision automatic people counter works

The SLAB system is a highly accurate pedestrian counter that is designed specifically for hiking trails and urban foot paths. The SLAB is Eco-Counter's first counting technology and remains one of the most reliable and accurate systems on the market. The SLAB is sensitive to micro-variations in pressure and can detect footsteps with great precision. Up to eight SLABs can connect to a single counting system, allowing for great flexibility and adaptability to varying trail or road widths.

 

High Accuracy For Any Trail or Path

The SLAB pedestrian counter can consist of one to eight slab sensors, making the product adaptable to various trail or path widths. In the case of wide, heavily-used paths, an array of SLABs make it possible to count several people at the same time while maintaining extremely high accuracy. 

Directional Counting

Using two rows of SLABs, it is possible to measure the direction of travel in addition to counting each user.

Stabilizers for Soil

For hard-packed soil or soil susceptible to erosion, the SLAB can be delivered with a protective honeycomb overlay that stabilizes the soil and prevents the SLAB from being uncovered.

Case study

Presidio Tunnel Tops Park in San Francisco, California was created after the highway leading to the Golden Gate Bridge was replaced by tunnels. From day one, the park’s marketing manager wanted to understand how successful the new landmark was. To support that goal, Eco-Counter solutions were installed to provide long-term insights and guide informed decision-making.

Pedestrians and cyclists along the route are counted and differentiated, and their direction of travel is also recorded.
