The Solution
Invisible technology,
visible results.
trailpulse captures how paths are used – without cameras, without an app, without visible technology. The data form the foundation for planning, advocacy and reporting.
The Counting Mat
Placed invisibly beneath the surface, the trailpulse mat precisely captures every movement – without altering the natural path.
Sensor Module
Flat mat with integrated sensors. 1 module = 1 metre of path width.
Self-Installation
Installed in minutes. No technician, no power connection required.
Invisible in Operation
Completely hidden after installation. No impact on the trail or its users.
What trailpulse measures
- User type: Pedestrians and cyclists, recorded separately
- Direction of travel: One or two directions
- Temporal distribution: In 15-minute intervals
- Group detection: Individual users vs. groups
What trailpulse deliberately does not collect:
No images, no personal data, no identification of individuals.
100% anonymous & GDPR-compliant
Two-Way Verification
Dual signal verification for maximum data quality – on the device and in the cloud.
On-Device Processing
The sensor processes vibration and pressure signals directly on-site. Initial classification (cyclist vs. pedestrian) happens in real time on the device – energy-efficient and independent of network connectivity.
Cloud Data Orchestration
Raw data is transmitted to the cloud, where it is aggregated, cleaned and enriched with context. This is where the second verification stage takes place – outliers are detected and plausibility checks are performed.
Machine Learning & Retroactive Application
ML models continuously learn from new signal patterns. New movement types (e.g. e-bikes, strollers) are detected and retroactively applied to historical data – improving past measurements after the fact.
Continuous Feedback Loop
Cloud insights flow back into the device firmware. On-device classification becomes more precise with every update. The result is a self-learning system that improves with every measurement – without manual intervention.
How it works
Install
Place the mat in the ground. Self-installation in minutes, no technician needed.
Measure
The sensor captures vibrations and pressure. Reliably distinguishes between cyclists and pedestrians.
Transmit
Data is sent to the cloud energy-efficiently. Hourly or in real time.
Analyse
Intelligent dashboard with filters, comparisons and automated reports.
