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.

Case studies

Georgetown, Washington DC, USA

United States

Downtown Management

The Georgetown business improvement district, in Washington D.C., implemented a counting program using automatic counters to study downtown attendance. The data from the Eco-Counters were used to measure the storefront exposure of certain shops, to analyze pedestrian flows, to determine circulation problems and to evaluate the impact of events announced on Facebook.

Observe, assess & evaluate

Counters installed are used to assess storefront value, understand the value of commercial pedestrian traffic, identify and measure peak hour traffic by day-of-week and by season or measure the impact of events.

They allow cities to evaluate trends over time to help guide future investments in infrastructure. For the case of Georgetown, the data collected from the pedestrian counters were also valuable in making the case for a nearby streetcar station.
