Non-Intrusive Bicycle Data Collection
TagMaster, a key provider of Traffic Monitoring Solutions into the UK Traffic sector, installed one of their leading innovations, the CityRadar, on a mountain bike trail at Sherwood Pines in Mansfield for the Forestry Commission England.
The key issue facing the Forestry Commission was how to detect cycles along the path without the need to tarmac a section of the trail in order to install inductive loops, the traditional method for monitoring bicycles. The CityRadar offered the ideal solution.
CityRadar
The only rapidly deployable intelligent bicycle and pedestrian detector on the market.
Its ease of installation means that the equipment can be installed and removed quickly by a single engineer, allowing for rapid deployment on existing street furniture. The fast and simple deployment reduces road closures and traffic disruption.
Key Features:
- Accurate counting without in-ground sensors
- Targets pedestrians and cycles
- Very easy to install
- Wide range of survey and communications options
- Robust and weatherproof design

Back to School Monitoring
Many schools have seen a recent increase in private car use in the ‘return to school’ drop off and collection, due to a reluctance to use busses in fear of Covid.
Local authorities are trying to encourage more Active Travel not only to reduce traffic congestion and pollution, but by building walking or cycling into our daily routines it is an effective way to increase physical activity.
To promote the use of bicycles and walking as the preferred method of transport for the school run, Traffic planners need access to precise data to make informed decisions on what infrastructure is required.
TagMaster’s CityRadar is designed and optimised for Active Travel applications without the need for in-ground sensors making it quick and easy to install for both temporary and permanent installations.

Cycle Counting Evolved
Growing interest on the benefits of Active Travel has increased the demand for accurate and timely bicycle travel data. Bicycle traffic monitoring is essential to comprehend current figures and for planning and predicting future demand to manage cycling infrastructure.
With the launch of both the Compact Bicycle Piezo and Compact Bicycle Loop, TagMaster introduces the latest generation of bicycle counting technology.
Key Features:
- Turn-key battery/solar powered bicycle counting
- Measures the direction of travel
- Seamless data transmission via 3G/4G modem
- Bluetooth communication
- Easy set up with Android Ap
Compact Bicycle Piezo
The high accuracy Piezo sensor for Cycle Paths uses two piezoelectric strips embedded into the path to accurately measure the downward pressure of the cycle as the wheels go over it. By having two strips it can measure the speed, direction and wheelbase of the cycle.
Compact Bicycle Loop
The robust, durable inductive loops can be used for cycle paths, shared lane with pedestrians and in-road and can be fitted to a standard BlackCAT Compact Loop detector. The unit measure the speed, direction, length and chassis height for accurate counting.
Both systems are perfect for obtaining trends over time and allows for the comparison of bicycle trips over consecutive months, seasons, or years. Real-time communication provides instant data on bicycle users to understand the potential impact on services and infrastructure.
REST API
As a middleware for TagMaster’s infomobility products, the REST API can parse, receive, store and acknowledge all real-time VBV data transmitted. The field units (sensors, radars etc.) are easily configured to send their real time data to this middleware. In the event of a 3G/4G connection loss, the REST API middleware will catchup unretrieved data.

Improve the Health & Safety of your Traffic Surveys
With the annual growth in the use of our road network showing no signs of slowing, it is imperative that safety, when carrying out road traffic surveys, is high on the agenda.
Temporary traffic surveys have always involved vast man power, which only increases further when road closures are required to install a set of pneumatic tubes. Not only does this cause disruption to road users, but the costs of that single traffic survey somewhat increase too.
High flowing roads and dual carriageway surveys can be carried out safely and efficiently with the use of the BlackCAT Radar. The product design allows for a swift one man 5 minute deployment and configuration, to minimise the time engineers are spending at the side of the road.
TagMaster UK have carried out extensive development to push the boundaries of Doppler radar technology to produce a non-invasive speed & length recorder with accuracy that will rival in-ground inductive loop technology.
To prove this concept we carried out in-depth testing and analysis of the BlackCAT Radar against an inductive loop site and wrote up the report.
Further to the benefits of not being required to work in the carriageway, the covert nature of the BlackCAT Radar will ensure that road users won’t change their behaviour as they pass through the site and the much dreaded ‘thud thud’ of cars travelling over pneumatic tubes in residential areas is no longer a concern.
With this technology the future of traffic surveys becomes safer and more efficient whilst most importantly expanding market potential. Don’t get caught using traditional techniques when new technology is available to be exploited.
