Both Canmore and the Banff townsite
sit in the scenic and ecologically-important Bow Valley. Canmore
is about one hour from Calgary, a rapidly growing city of over
one million people. Canada’s national highway, the TransCanada,
one of the longest in the world, links Canmore to both Calgary and
Banff National Park. With easy motor access, Banff National Park
is one of the most visited in the world: approximately 8 million
vehicles enter the park annually. Our designs have benefited
greatly over the years from feedback provided by Banff National Park and
other similar government organizations.

The Banff-Canmore region is the most
heavily visited area in North America where grizzly bears live.
It is also a mecca for outdoor recreation. The overlap of large
numbers of people, busy roads and trails, and important wildlife
habitat, has created serious management challenges.
How best to manage both people and
wildlife in this popular, ecologically sensitive area? The question
has no easy answer, but good data is integral to good management.
TRAFx Research Ltd. grew out of the need for state-of-the-art,
cost-effective tools to gather, analyze and manage road and trail use data. TRAFx’s leading
edge technology utilizes recent advances in several different fields,
including embedded systems design, signal processing, earth’s magnetic field sensing
and web-based software systems. TRAFx technology has a wide range
of applications.
