In the era of Generative #AI leading to errors based on false information, you'd at least hope to rely on the old-fashioned (?) human-curated knowledge from places like #wikipedia

Then you come across a completely misleading article like this one explaining the concept of V85 for #traffic / #speed reporting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V85_speed

😲

At least hoping someone with access & knowledge can update it soon for future researchers, but it does leave me concerned

Telraam gets some profile in Norway ... and someone kindly translated it for me.

@bikepedantic love the concept, but as a Scot, who correctly pronounces that word to rhyme with "gone", it isn't as neat ;)

Just learned a great deal about the #liveability of #Montreal from this great video looking at all the #transportation and #mobility enhancements they've made, and how it is part of the culture.

Must visit soon!

The new #Telraam network in South East London is growing.

The Lambeth Community Traffic Monitoring project has already got most of the devices installed and running, ready for counting traffic and street usage from September.

Looking forward to the results, and insights into recent #activetravel investments in the area

@Anibyl I've actually had some conversations about #Vancouver with several different people, so maybe there is some demand (somewhere) 😀 !!

What might be more interesting is the multimodal count on more streets rather than just a focus on bike traffic - to put cycling in context.

Plenty of budget for car data, so we combine the data gathering so it is useful for more purposes (e.g. traffic modelling)

Certainly would love to do more in lovely Vancouver!

@DrTCombs have you come across https://www.betastreets.co.uk/

Sounds like it is just what you are looking for

@Anibyl if you're interested in traffic counts on your street, do check out the Telraam S2 which does this, but automatically from your window.

E-scooters are an issue still to be fully resolved even here (more likely to be categorised as pedestrians by the AI) but we're working on it.

@MartyCormack yes, I've heard that perspective. Did you see the research concerning the 'equivalence' point for discussions about investment though?

Are we measuring cyclists, people who cycle, or cycle traffic?

What is your preferred term?

Citizens taking control of their streets in San Francisco - and Telraam is there too!

Traffic counts for School Streets - why do they matter?

@c_9 depends what you define as "twitter" ... but if it is akin to "the informal connection with a diverse group of individuals that are not my immediate social circle" (i.e more like 2010) then why not!?

But not the 2022 "advertising funded broadcast platform for brands, media companies, and anti-social individuals rewarded for making noise & nuisance"

Interesting to see how this podcast interview with @carltonreid has generated lots of interest in #Telraam, but also how he has to cope with such vitriol on all transport matters.

Very grateful there are voices out there like Carlton

@differentieel sadly not - I have many ideas of how to use raspberry pi ... but not the skills
