This innovative, reliable, compact vehicle counter uses an aerospace-quality magnetometer, and advanced embedded software, to detect passing vehicles.

Passenger cars can be counted from up to 8 metres (26 feet) away, allowing coverage of two lanes from a roadside installation. Roadside installations are safer and easier to access than mid-lane ones. If the unit is buried at the roadside, no road cuts or special tools are required. The counter’s detection range is user-programmable, and can be adjusted for single lane or two lane counting (read more...)

Trail Counter 

TRAFx Infrared Trail Counter

  • Counts people on trails, paths, and sidewalks
  • Advanced microelectronic design
  • High-quality infrared scope
  • Compact, unobtrusive, camouflaged design
  • Very long battery life (up to 10 years)
  • Large storage capacity (millions of counts)
  • Maximum range: 6m (20ft.)
  • Built for outside: -40C (-40F) to +55C (131F)
  • Very low operating costs ( <$1/year for batteries)
  • Mount on a tree, or put inside a low-cost, lockable electrical box
  • Field-proven, Generation 4 design (>10 year history)
  • Used from Alaska to Australia, in remote and urban areas

The TRAFx Infrared Trail Counter counts people — walkers, hikers, joggers, inline skaters, horseback riders, cyclists, etc. — on trails, paths and sidewalks. It senses and detects the infrared wavelength that people emit.

Unlike other trail counters, it does not require a receiving unit or reflector to operate. This results in a very compact, unobtrusive design, that reduces risk of vandalism. The TRAFx Infrared Trail Counter also works well in winter conditions on snowshoe, ski and snowmobile trails. It uses three standard “AA size” alkaline batteries and has very long battery life.
