Two Pneumatic TUBES sensors are laid over the road or the bicycle lane, perpendicular to traffic flow. The system automatically monitors the speed and distance between the two bicycle wheels. Thanks to this information, the Pneumatic TUBES sensors are able to extract directional data, discriminating bicycles from motorized vehicles in mixed traffic, extract directional data and accurately count the number of cyclists in a group.

Specifically designed to monitor bicycles on dedicated bicycle lanes and greenways

Mini-tubes to maximize cyclist comfort

Specific filter to ensure an accuracy of +/- 3%, even for groups of cyclists

Counts bikes passing side-by-side or closely following each other

Temporary monitoring of bicycles on roads in mixed traffic (bicycle lanes, shared bicycle/bus lanes)

Ignores motorized vehicles (scooters, motorbikes, cars, buses…)

Counts only bicycles, even in heavy traffic

A special insert in the TUBE dismisses signal rebounds that may be generated by a fast car or truck

High accuracy (+/- 3%, even in heavy traffic)

Over 30 TUBES Selective sensors have been installed on the bicycle boulevard network of Vancouver, Canada.

On Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago, TUBES Selective sensors have been installed to monitor bicycles on a shared bicycle/bus lane.

McGill University in Montreal, Canada, uses TUBES sensors to monitor the cycling networks of Montreal and Quebec.

Over 1.6 million cyclists a year use the Hawthorne Bridge linking East Portland to the city center.
