Do we actually know what is really going on on our trails, hiking or cycling routes? With the Nomad Counters we have a reliable tool to professionalize frequency measurement to the maximum.
The advantages
Calibrated, the Nomad NM52 achieves results up to 97%
Price advantage of up to 70% compared to comparable products
The built-in battery lasts about 2 years and can be replaced quickly
The data is automatically transferred to the database via NBioT
The space-saving stake is available in wood or plastic
Both alpine and urban – the potential is huge
The NM52 PED "Pedestrian" works with a PIR sensor (passive infrared) that is integrated into an inconspicuous wooden or plastic post. The sensor points orthogonally over the path whose use is to be measured. As soon as a person uses the path, the body heat is detected - regardless of whether they are on foot or by bike.
The NM52 PED / BIKE «Pedestrian / Bike» gives us more differentiated values: In addition to the PIR sensor, there is an induction loop that is embedded in the ground and works with an electromagnetic field. The combination makes it possible to distinguish between the two types of use: pedestrian and bicycle.
The NM52 VEH «Vehicle» consists only of the induction loop without the infrared sensor. This method allows us to detect cars. The data is collected solely using the electromagnetic field of the induction loop.

First, we identify suitable locations for installation. The data transfer takes place via NBioT, which is why network coverage is necessary for the data transfer. Ideally, the surface is asphalt, gravel or grass and the path is not too wide. We can now install the PIR sensor and optionally the induction loop.
We use the Nomad app to check the functionality on site and can already see the first measurement results via Bluetooth. This is quick and easy and is already very accurate. After calibration, the data is automatically transferred to the database via NBioT. Here, the results can be read out in the dashboard down to the hour. The battery of the PIR sensor can be easily replaced after two years.
Regardless of location, we receive detailed figures to process and can make statements about user behavior and frequencies. The values can be used to make very specific recommendations for action and develop future strategies. (Where) do investments make sense, are unbundling necessary, have goals been met, etc.
In addition to trails, hiking or cycling routes, the Nomad Counters are also a useful and flexible tool in urban areas and metropolitan areas
