Equipment detecting cycles. A literature study

Anne Bolling, 2009, VTI Sweden (English Sumary)
The purpose of this study was to find new methods and technologies which could help develop better, safer and easier ways to measure cycling data.
Currently, the preferred methods for counting cycle traffic are to use either inductive loops or air tubes. Signals or pulses are created from passing cycles. A computer program then analyses the signals or pulses and calculates the number of passing cycles. Manual counting is also widely used for measuring cycle traffic. In addition, travel habit surveys are often used to give a more comprehensive picture of the cycle traffic data.
