VARCITIES Sensors: Sensedge Traffic Counter Sensor
The deployment of sensors is a crucial part of VARCITIES for the quantification of Health & Well Being of the citizens at our seven pilot sites. No sensors on the market would fully fulfill the pilot sites’ needs, thus, custom sensors were developed and produced by project partners, Sensedge and Cyclopolis. They are made of eco-materials and have custom firmware that perfectly fits our needs.
Sensedge Traffic Counter
Deployed across our seven Pilots to monitor usage of the pilot sites, and feed into the Health & Well-Being Plaftorm.

Parameters measured by the sensor:
The Sensedge Traffic Counter is a device that counts pedestrians, bikes, and vehicles). It uses a camera that recognizes the type of movement by using machine learning. The Traffic Counter then sends the data via Wi-Fi to the Sensedge Middleware and VARCITIES REST API.
The device is made to operate indoors and outdoors and is closed in a rigid, weather-protective enclosure.
What were the technical need and the market need?
The sensor is unique on the market due to its cost-effectivity and no data subscription model.
For its sensors, Sensedge prioritizes quality, offering reliable, durable sensors designed and assembled in the EU using premium materials. These sensors are long-lasting, with decades of potential use (excluding batteries), and operate up to 50km on Lorawan. They feature user-friendly assembly and seamless integration across platforms, ensuring a superior experience for both integrators and end users.
