NATURAL AREAS

Counting hikers on trails is essential for effectively managing natural areas. We provide solutions to obtain accurate attendance figures by hour, day, week, season or year. Using our online data analysis platform, it is easy to analyse count data by any time period, to cross-reference attendance figures with meteorological data, and to compare hiking trail use with parking attendance data.

The data collected from our counting systems can be used to help preserve sensitive sitesanticipate trail erosionmeasure the impact of visitors on fauna and flora, and dedicate the required resources according to the actual attendance. The data can also be used to communicate key attendance figures to the public and other partners.

We offer a range of counting solutions, including our MULTI system that distinguishes between up to four different types of users: pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians and ATVs. The data from this type of system has been used by many of our clients to manage conflicts between different user types.

Eco-Visio

Analyse and share easily your count data

With Eco-Viso 5, your count data is accessible at any given moment and preferred data analyses are saved and automatically updated daily.

With Eco-Visio 5, your data analyses are presented in the form of a personalised dashboard. Data are visible at any given moment, saved in real time on your account.

Dashboards consist of a variety of interactive ‘widgets’ – dynamic data visualisation modules. Organise and personalise your dashboard as you wish with over a dozen widgets, including:

  • Tables with automatically-generated key figures
  • Interactive charts and graphs
  • Maps of counter location and business

Widgets are dynamic, allowing you to easily filter counting sites, time-periods, or parameters. Explore these widgets directly on your dashboard – data is automatically updated and waiting for you when you login.
