Footscray Library Carpark

What data is being captured?

This smart counter provides data snapshots every 30 minutes on the following parameters:

• Vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist direction of travel.

The technology uses a camera to identify and differentiate shapes moving across the field of view and counting them based on the direction of travel.

*Note:  No video imagery is captured by this technology, and there is no identifying information captured by the sensor.

Why this location?

The intersection on the corner of Paisley Street and French Street is a heavily utilised part of the Footscray CBD.  Separated bike paths have been installed and these counters can provide insights into the utilisation of the path, and an understanding of what days and times of the week are busier than others.

This data can be used for advocacy, planning maintenance, and planning traffic infrastructure investments.
