North Carolina State Parks: trail and parking lot counts

North Carolina State Parks use Varidx trail counters and parking lot car counters. Counts are sent automatically, so staff see visitor and vehicle numbers on one dashboard without visiting each counter to download data.

What was deployed

• Trail counters made by See Insights: solar-powered sensors on a pole or tree that count people walking in either direction using infrared and ultrasound. No camera.
• Parking lot car counters: a magnetometer strip under the lot entrance counts vehicles in and out, anonymously.

Solutions used here

• Trail counters and park visitor counting
• Smart parks & recreational centers
