Notes:
This device is capable of collecting bi-directional bicycle & pedestrian traffic (i.e. direction of travel of each person is logged). Reading body temperature, the device's sensor detects the infrared radiation emitted by each person who passes by it. The sensor's narrow profile further enables it to count two or more people following closely to one another. The device will function at temperatures between -40 ºF to 122 ºF.
This device cannot distinguish between bicycles or pedestrians.
A common factor reducing the level of observation (i.e. undercounting) of this data is lack of the pyroelectric sensor's ability to detect adjacent-travelling bicyclists or pedestrians (See page 10 in the following paper ~ Effectiveness of a Commercially Available Automated Pedestrian Counting Device in Urban Environments: Comparison with Manual Counts ~ 22 Jul 2007).
