Camcycle Community Street Counts

Democratising traffic data

Telraam is a citizen-powered solution for collecting multi-modal traffic data with a purpose-built, affordable, and user-friendly device. Collecting traffic data offers communities a way to improve their streets by obtaining high-quality, continuous and real-time data, in collaboration with local citizens.

Telraam sensors continuously monitor a street from a citizen’s window, providing crucial data on various modes of transport, including motorised vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and more. The sensors join together as part of a network, to create the opportunity for dialogue between traffic planners, local authorities and their most affected communities: the citizens who live on and use these streets, by turning traffic counting into an open and access citizen science project.

Camcycle is looking for community groups and engaged citizens that are looking to better understand their streets. Applications may be wanting to:

● Discover insight into current and ongoing traffic volumes: changes (increase/decrease) in vehicle traffic, ratios between the different modes of transport, potential for walking & cycling, intensity per direction of travel, etc.

● Establish a traffic baseline for assessing future mobility interventions

● Monitor the impact of implementation of local and regional transport interventions

● Capture data to showcase the importance of local sustainable transport links. 

Please complete the application form prior to the 28th of February to be considered for suitability in the initial role-out of Camcycle's Telraam Network
