Pedestrian Crossing Analytics

Measure how many people use a crossing, when, and in which direction — observational data to assess safety, justify improvements, and support traffic studies.

Questions We Answer

How many people use this crossing?

Is the crossing safe and well-used?

What times see the most pedestrians?

What is the directional flow?

What We Measure

Pedestrian counts

Continuous, image-validated crossing counts.

Crossing safety insight

Usage evidence to support safety assessments.

Time-of-day volumes

See peak crossing periods across days and weeks.

Directionality

Directional flow for crossing and corridor analysis.

Transportation & Safety Applications

Safety & Traffic Studies

Crossing demand, directionality, and pedestrian behavior are core inputs to safety analysis and signal warrants — and they are exactly the variables a single one-day manual count captures least reliably. Waypoint collects them continuously and with image validation, so the volume and behavior figures behind a crossing upgrade or a traffic-calming project rest on weeks of evidence rather than a few hours of fieldwork.

Measured at the crossing:

  • Crossing demand and volume
  • Directional flow
  • Peak periods
  • User behavior and grouping

Applications include:

  • Crossing upgrades
  • Signal warrant analysis
  • Traffic calming
  • School-access studies
  • Grant applications

Long-Term Monitoring

A manual crossing count is expensive, short, and easily skewed by the day it happened to fall on. Image-based monitoring extends the record across multiple weeks and seasons with minimal field effort — and validates every observation, so reviewers can trust both the count and the conditions behind it.

  • Multi-week collection
  • Multi-season analysis
  • Remote monitoring
  • Image validation of each count
