Background
Municipalities plan streets, crossings and cycle paths largely without knowing how they are actually used. Cameras can count traffic but raise privacy concerns in public space, and manual counts are too expensive to repeat often enough to be useful.
FLOW (Flödesmätning i Lund och Veberöd) tested radar as the alternative. Radar can count and classify passing traffic without recording anyone, which makes continuous measurement in public environments possible without collecting personal data.
