Real-time bikeway counters

Brisbane City Council has installed real-time bikeway counters on busy cycle routes and shared pathways around the city. The devices track the number of people riding bikes, and in some cases people walking, via infrared sensors and an inductive loop in the bikeway or footpath. The counts are displayed on bikeways via electronic display boards and signs.

Brisbane is part of a global community with these installations, with cities across the world having adopted a similar approach. View bike counts from around the world.

Benefits

• Track usage of the bikeways over time
• Demonstrate the bikeway network’s role and function in the transport network
• Display to bike riders and pedestrians just how much their contribution counts
• Data collected will assist Council in its analysis to inform future planning. All data collected will be published on Council’s open data website for public access
