BUILD YOUR CONFIGURATION

Not sure which options are right for you?

Here is what each option means and who it is best suited for.

Build Type

How you want to receive the Traffic Monitor

Fully assembled Most popular
Arrives fully built and tested. Plug in and start counting immediately. No assembly required.
Best for: Advocacy groups, municipalities, nonprofits, advocates

Kit (Build Your Own)
Same components, shipped unassembled. For users who want to customize or learn how it works from the inside.
Best for: Makers, researchers, developers.

System

The computing power and brains that run the detector model

Standard Recommended
RPi5 / 4GB + Coral TPU (4 TOPS)
Handles everyday pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle counting with solid accuracy. More than enough for most deployments.
Best for: Most users. Start here if unsure.

Professional
RPi5 / 8GB + AI HAT+, Hailo-8L (13 TOPS)
More power for high-traffic intersections, multi-lane roads, additional models, or deployments with additional cameras and sensors.
Best for: Makers, developers, deployments at busy intersections.

Radar

Measures the speed of road users passing by and bring future detection possibilities

Omnipresense OPS243-A Recommended
Adds highly accurate real-time speed data for every road user detected. Useful for documenting speeds with certified readings on a 24 GHz Doppler radar.
Best for: School zones, speeding documentation, grant applications, policy decision-making.

No radar
Skip the high-accuracy speed data and save. A good option when your project only needs counts and detections. Note: Camera-based, frame-rate speed detection is included in the software.
Best for: Projects where speed data is not essential.

Environmental Sensor

Optional air quality monitoring alongside roadway counts

No sensor Standard
The standard enclosure. Collects roadway counts and speed data only. The right choice for most deployments.
Best for: Most deployments.

Air Quality + Particulate Matter
Enviro+ by Pimoroni in the AQ Enclosure
Adds air quality monitoring alongside traffic counts including temp, humidity, gaseous readings, PM2.5, and more. Useful for environmental justice projects attempting to link traffic to pollution.
Best for: Environmental justice projects, air quality research.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple to deploy. Powerful in the field.

Deployment takes four steps. No IT department, no subscription, no data leaving your hands.

01
Chose a location and mount

Find a spot with a clear view of the roadway. Mount the device, point it at the street, and plua it in. It starts counting immediately. no configuration needed.

02
Connect and monitor live

Open a browser on any device on the same network. The on-device dashboard shows live pedestrian, bike, and vehicle counts with speed data. No login, no app, no cloud account.

03

Export and use your data

Export counts and reports to support advocacy work, grant applications, policy proposals, or program evaluations. The data is yours, always. with no third party in between.

The device up close

What makes it different

Fully open source

Every line of code is public on GitHub and the hardware is fully documented. You can inspect it, fork it, or build on top of it. No proprietary algorithms deciding what gets counted and how.

Privacy first by design

The device counts and classifies road users. It does not store images, capture faces, or track individuals. No data ever leaves the device unless you choose to export it yourself.

Right-to-repair

Built with standard, best-in-class components. If something breaks, you can fix it yourself. We document everything so you’re never dependent on us to keep it running.

Holistic roadway detection

Most traffic counters only see cars. The Traffic Monitor detects pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles together in a single deployment. This complete picture is novel in the industry.

Works anywhere

No internet connection required. In areas without Wi-Fi the device creates its own hotspot. Deploy it anywhere there’s power and it starts collecting roadway data immediately.

Ecologically minded

Manufactured using solar power with biodegradable filament enclosures. Every sourcing and production decision considers environmental impact. Built to last, not to replace.
