Counters at your key locations
Modern counters provide hard data at the locations that matter to you: intersections, perimeter boundaries, and sensitive areas.

Monitoring: visitor counts and surveys
Counters, surveys, and movement data create a dynamic, comprehensive picture of your trail network.
Before we start measuring, we work with you to clarify your goals: Do you want to understand usage patterns overall, or evaluate a specific measure? Do you need an initial assessment for a preliminary study, or a reliable basis for a funding application? And where do you suspect conflicts between hikers and mountain bikers? Only then do we decide where to measure and for how long.
Trailpulse
Your visitor count data live, not just in the annual report
The Trailpulse widget displays aggregated counts from one or more counting stations live, with selectable intervals (15 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 month, 1 year), including a time-series chart. Unlike a final report alone, the figures remain visible to you at any time (and to your visitors too, if you wish).

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions from municipalities, destinations, and operating organizations
Isn’t a single counting station enough?
One point does not show the entire networkA counting station shows exactly how many people pass that location, but not where they go afterward or which route they choose next. That is why we combine counters with surveys and, where possible, movement data from the Mountainbike United app.
How do you combine counting data with surveys?
Two data sources, one pictureAlongside the counts, we conduct a project-specific survey if needed, promoted through information boards in the field, flyers, or social media. This brings objective data together with users’ perspectives.
What can we use the data for in practice?
From maintenance planning to funding applicationsAs a data source for planning maintenance of your trail network in the TMP, assessing coexistence between hikers and mountain bikers, reviewing visitor management measures and signage, and providing reliable figures for investment decisions or funding applications.
