The city of Colorado Springs, CO is installing 26 multi-modal sensors in its downtown corridor to collect foot and vehicle traffic data.
The sensors, also called multimodal counters, detect and categorize moving objects -such as pedestrians, bicycles, cars, trucks, and buses – but do not collect personally identifiable information. Each moving object is counted with information on direction of travel, date, time stamp, and mode of transportation. The sensors are provided by Numina, which is “intelligence without surveillance.”
