Easy ZELT

Applications

Since 1997, Eco-Counter has developed unique and innovative solutions to count pedestrians and cyclists. Although knowing the numbers is the end goal, the system we use depends on the site – counting pedestrians downtown is quite different from counting them on mountain trails. This is why we have created specific products for the diverse environments that our clients work in.

The Eco-Counter Easy-ZELT has been installed in Vancouver, Seattle and Montreal. Installation is quick and easy and requires no engineering work. The Easy-ZELT system is ideal for bridge installations or short-term counting projects or to test the effects of a layout.

Overview

Eco-Counter’s Easy– ZELT Inductive Loop system is the perfect solution for temporary (one to six months) off-street bike counting. The system uses single-use adhesive loops rather than permanent loops that are cut into the path, making it easy to install and simple to move from one location to the next.

The ZELT loop precisely analyzes the electromagnetic signature of each bicycle wheel using 13 differentiation criteria. The ZELT’s unique SIRIUS algorithm allows the system to detect all types of bicycles, with extreme precision.

Simple & Robust

The Easy-ZELT is an economical temporary counting solution. The system installs very easily and is ideal for bridges and cycling infrastructure trials (1-6 months). The system is robust; the loops are essentially adhered to the ground. A number of trials that involved the Easy-ZELT system have counted more than 1 million cyclists without requiring replacement loops.

Justify New Infrastructure

In Vancouver, two Easy-ZELT were installed to monitor cycling on provisional bicycle lanes. The trial involved removing one vehicular lane on the Burrard Bridge to provide space for dedicated cycling facilities. The data collected over a year highlighted a significant increase of the cyclists volumes on the bridge.
