Real-time movement data is helping power cleaner, smarter cities. Across the world, people are choosing to walk, cycle, scoot, and use micro-mobility more than ever, and cities are reshaping their streets to support that shift. But building networks that truly work for communities requires more than assumptions. It requires real-time visibility of how people move.

Countculture’s AI-powered sensor, the Count Pod, delivers continuous monitoring of pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooters, and other micro-mobility users in real-time. The Count Pod is designed for rapid, low-infrastructure installation, making it easy to deploy across busy intersections, shared paths, and remote corridors. Its mode-specific insights help cities understand movement patterns, peak demand, nera misses, and speed behaviour throughout the day. With scalable deployment and consistent, high-quality data, the Count Pod gives planners the visibility they need to design safer, more connected streets.

That intelligence comes to life in Count Central, Countculture’s cloud-based data platform, which translates real-time movement patterns into clear insights on demand, mode share, safety, and long-term trends. Count Central also automatically calculates emissions savings from mode shift, showing how every bike ride, walk trip, and scooter journey reduces congestion and lowers carbon output, a powerful metric for climate reporting and transport planning.

With cities everywhere planning for growth, resilience, and lower-carbon mobility, real-time movement data is becoming essential infrastructure. Countculture makes that insight accessible, actionable, and designed for the future.

Smarter streets, cleaner cities, it's real-time data behind real progress.

At Countculture, we believe designing cities for the future means designing for everyone. Around the world, cities are rethinking how streets should work, not just for cars, but for people. As micro-mobility use accelerates and active transport becomes a core part of daily movement, transport planners are being challenged to design infrastructure that is safer, more inclusive, and truly future-oriented.

But future-ready planning requires more than good intentions, it requires real-time visibility of how people actually move.

That’s where Countculture’s real-time transport data plays a vital role. By capturing, mode-specific data across pedestrians, cyclists, scooters, and transit users, cities gain the insight and evidence they need to design networks that reflect actual behaviour instead of outdated assumptions. Count Central’s cloud platform transforms this data into clear insights on flow, demand, safety, and emission savings, helping planners understand what works, what needs investment, and where opportunities for change exist.

From global mega-events to local neighbourhood upgrades, we see one universal truth, when planners have real-time movement data, they make better decisions for the people they serve.

The cities that will thrive in the next decade are those that treat active transport as essential infrastructure, not an optional add-on. And it starts with giving planners the tools to see their city as it truly moves.

With Countcentral, Countculture's cloud-based data visualisation platform, you can turn active transport data into measurable emissions savings.

Every bike ride, walk trip, scooter journey, and public-transport connection has a measurable impact on a city’s carbon footprint. Count Central allows councils and organisations to now quantify those emissions savings in real-time.

By combining AI-powered movement counts with transport-mode classification, Count Central automatically calculates the avoided CO₂ emissions created when people choose active or shared modes over cars. This gives cities a clearer picture of how behaviour is shifting, and the environmental benefit those shifts are generating.

From monitoring peak-hour mode share to proving the value of new bike networks, shared paths, events, and tactical trials, Count Central turns raw movement data into actionable climate insight. The platform delivers intuitive dashboards, geospatial mapping, long-term trend analysis, and real-time reporting to help planners understand what’s working, where to invest, and how to accelerate mode shift.

As more cities look to reduce congestion, meet climate targets, and design people-first streets, Count Central provides the intelligence needed to track progress, and celebrate real emissions savings as they happen.

With real-time movement and real emissions impact, Countculture delivers real progress. Talk to us today about quantifying your emissions savings.

The CountPod helps you expand your active transport, traffic, and pedestrian monitoring – while reducing deployment costs to maximise impact and data value.

When cities and transport professionals deploy monitoring solutions, installation cost is more than just a line item, it can be a real project gatekeeper. The Count Pod is designed to break that barrier, enabling large scale, data-driven active transport programmes as cost-effective solutions. With its ultra-low power design, the system can run on less than 6 watts of power and even connect to street lighting or solar power when daytime mains power isn’t available. Harnessing this flexibility means deployments can come in at over 75% less cost compared to traditional neural-network AI sensor systems.

But it’s not just about cost. The Count Pod uses advanced AI and background subtraction algorithms to deliver the accurate pedestrian, cyclist and micro-mobility counts that cities need – all without the high installation hassle, heavy power infrastructure or network burden of legacy systems.

Count Pod driven solutions means better intelligence on how people move, where infrastructure is needed next and how to allocate space for walkers, riders and other micro-mobility modes. With Countculture, your monitoring solution isn’t just smarter, it’s more efficient, more scalable and aligned with your budget.

In cities from Auckland to Amsterdam, the future of infrastructure is no longer just about building roads and rails, it’s about ensuring every street, path and corridor can adapt to how people truly move. At Countculture, we believe future-proof urban design relies on real-time data capturing the movement of pedestrians, cyclists and micro-mobility devices so planners can build for what’s happening now, not what happened yesterday.

Our advanced monitoring systems provide near real-time insight into who is moving where, at what speed and in what mode. That intelligence empowers cities to prioritise walking and cycling, allocate space based on actual usage, and create connected, resilient communities that thrive. When you can see precisely how active transport is used and how it evolves, you can shape infrastructure that supports healthy lifestyles, reduces emissions and fosters inclusive neighbourhoods.

Planning for the next generation of urban environments means equipping our cities with the tools to adapt quickly, whether it’s shifting a cycle path from one street to another, reallocating space for a pedestrian corridor, or optimising micro-mobility zones where people really go. With Countculture’s data-driven view of movement, city leaders, transport agencies and community advocates can make more confident decisions, build stronger places and deliver real benefit for people and their places.

The message is clear: the infrastructure we’re investing in today must be built with tomorrow in mind, and the only way to know what that tomorrow looks like is to understand movement now.

Countculture’s CountPod AI sensor is playing a pivotal role on the Victoria Street Cycleway expansion, giving Auckland Transport valuable insight into how people and traffic moves through the new space. The CountPod uses a hybrid of AI plus background subtraction techniques so it can reliably classify pedestrians, bicycles, e-scooters, and vehicles, even under tricky lighting, shadows, or variable weather. Because it draws very little power (less than 6 watts), it can be solar-powered or run via existing street infrastructure, making the multiple installations on Hobson and Victoria Streets more flexible and cost effective.

This means decision-makers can see exactly how many people and vehicles pass, by what mode, at what speed, and where they go, information that feeds directly into planning, safety analysis, and investment strategy. This type of data which goes beyond simple counts, can help create safer crossings and footpaths by identifying where and when pedestrian volumes peak, and optimise traffic flow and signal timing based on actual usage patterns.

Imagine having the data to answer questions like: How do pedestrian and e-scooter volumes shift during peak commuter hours on Hobson Street? Are crossing wait times aligned with how people actually move across intersections? Where do cyclists and scooters naturally merge or conflict with pedestrian traffic? These insights help cities use space intelligently, not just reactively, but proactively.

Brisbane is building a sustainable transport legacy for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with active transport at its core. A future focused approach to infrastructure development sees several initiatives designed to enhance walking and cycling infrastructure and create a connected, accessible city for everyone. Continuous data of pedestrian and active transport mode users plays a major role to ensure the budget spent on developing new infrastructure is invested with the best outcomes, not just for the Games, but for all future generations to enjoy.

The city is developing a new bridge to connect Toowong and West End, making movement safer and more efficient for pedestrians and cyclists. Along the Brisbane River, the City Reach Boardwalk will provide scenic, uninterrupted pathways for active commuters. In the inner city, existing pathways are being improved and new routes created to ensure seamless connectivity for walkers and cyclists. On the Victoria Bridge, shade structures will be installed to enhance comfort during peak sunlight hours, and dedicated “mobility super-highways” will provide fast and safe corridors for active transport across the city.

These initiatives not only promote sustainable mobility but also deliver significant environmental and health benefits. By encouraging walking and cycling, Brisbane aims to reduce carbon emissions, alleviate traffic congestion, and support healthier lifestyles for residents.

By prioritizing legacy, integration, accessibility, inclusion and sustainability, Brisbane is not just preparing for the Games, it’s shaping a connected, safe, and active city for the future generations to come. The continuous data of active transport users will no doubt prove Brisbane's great initiatives as successes as the development unfolds.

Great work Brisbane!
