For trail managers¶
You don't buy counters from us. You subscribe to a measured, managed site — and everything below is our problem, not yours.
What a site includes¶
- The hardware, installed and maintained. Solar-powered radar counters, placed where they answer your questions. We install them, monitor them, swap batteries, and replace units — the equipment stays ours so upgrades never cost you a procurement cycle.
- A branded portal for your organization. Your trails, your logo, your team's logins. Data is visible only to your organization.
- A dashboard that answers the real questions first. How many today? How many over the past twelve months? Is usage growing? Every figure is labeled — measured, estimated, or modeled — so you always know what kind of number you're quoting.
- Grant-ready exports. CSV downloads and a documented API, with the methodology citation your grant application needs.
- A published method. Our How We Count page is public. When a council member or auditor asks where your number came from, you link them to it.
What your dashboard shows¶
- Daily, weekly, and seasonal usage by site — cyclists and pedestrians counted separately.
- Directional flow: which way people travel by time of day (the "people commute on this trail" chart).
- Weather-adjusted patterns and a 7-day outlook from our usage model.
- Counter health and coverage, in the open — uptime is part of your data, so you always know exactly what was measured.
Numbers that hold up¶
Every figure on your dashboard is defensible by design: counts are measured, site visits are estimated across overlapping sensors, and trail-wide trips come from a published model — each labeled as what it is. When a figure goes into a grant application or a council presentation, the method behind it is already public and citable.
Getting started¶
A pilot is one site for three months, installed and managed. From first site visit to live dashboard is typically under two weeks. Email bennett@swamprabbitanalytics.com to talk placement.
