Facts Instead of Guesswork

Measure invisibly,
improve visibly.

Precise counting of cycling and pedestrian traffic incl. direction of movement – invisible, privacy-compliant, with zero impact on nature.

trailpulse counting system: sensors capture movement on trails and transmit data to the dashboard

What do we do?

The stationary counting system from trailpulse precisely captures cyclists and pedestrians as well as their direction of movement – without disrupting the natural flow.

Data is transmitted energy-efficiently to an intelligent dashboard that is easily accessible from any device.

What makes trailpulse unique

trailpulse delivers facts instead of guesswork – anonymous, sustainable, deployable anywhere.

Privacy-Friendly

No camera, no personal data.

Self-Sufficient

Works without power, cellular, or Wi-Fi.

Two-Way Verification

Dual signal validation for maximum data quality.

Self-Learning

Recognises new movement patterns retroactively – e.g. strollers, e-bikes.

Live in minutes – self-installable, waterproof, years without maintenance.

What our customers say

Daniel Huemer

The precise numbers from trailpulse are truly outstanding – they allow us to plan our trails much better and keep them in perfect shape. It's a great feeling to rely on facts in heated discussions.

The commissioning at Falkenberg in Klagenfurt was professional, efficient, and extremely reliable. The counters deliver stable, precise data, and the dashboard is brilliant – clear and instantly usable. The service is fast, competent, and truly unique. A clear recommendation.

How trailpulse works – sensor captures data and transmits it to the dashboard

How does it work?

Our sensors are placed invisibly beneath the surface and do not affect the natural path. They precisely capture vibrations and pressure to distinguish between pedestrians and cyclists. Data is transmitted to the cloud at regular intervals or in real time on request, where it is securely stored and analysed in Europe.

Why collect this data?

For tourism boards, trailpulse provides active capacity management to efficiently guide visitor flows and prevent overcrowding. Trail construction firms benefit from the ability to minimise maintenance through targeted usage management. Path managers can reduce user and interest conflicts by leveraging up-to-date data for better path management. For nature conservation, trailpulse enables precise measurement and targeted management of nature usage intensity.

Questions?

How much can the sensor withstand?
Our sensors are specifically designed for use on trails and easily withstand the loads from cyclists and hikers. Tests show that regular use on forest roads poses no problem. Furthermore, the sensors are robust enough to handle the demands of forestry operations.
How long does the battery last?
Based on current calculations, our sensors' battery life is approximately 1.5 years. Under optimal conditions, up to 4 years are theoretically achievable. In practice, we have successfully operated counters for over 2 years on the same battery.
How can I view the data?
Data can be conveniently accessed from any device with internet access. Simply open a web browser and access the intelligent dashboard hosted in the cloud.
What temperature range does trailpulse operate in?
trailpulse components are designed for extreme conditions and work reliably in a temperature range of -20 to +80 degrees Celsius.
What path widths can trailpulse cover?
A single module covers a path width of 1 metre. For wider paths, we offer flexible solutions that can cover up to 4 metres by combining multiple modules.
What surfaces is trailpulse suitable for?
trailpulse is suitable for use on various surfaces such as forest roads, asphalt, and forest floor.
What values do I see in the dashboard?
The recommended data transmission to the dashboard occurs hourly. Measured data is aggregated in 15-minute intervals. Various filters are available in the dashboard, and you can make comparisons.
How accurately does the sensor measure?
We have conducted local reference measurements as well as manual counts to verify measurement results. So far, we are very satisfied with the counting accuracy.
Is measurement precise even during hail or heavy rain?
Measurement during rain is reliable; moderate hail is likewise not a problem. We process the signals ourselves and are constantly learning.
How is direction of movement captured?
To determine the direction of movement, two sensor modules are required, installed one after the other along the path.
