Texas A&M technology being used to make Houston better for walkers, bikers
HOUSTON โ As a whole, weโve been studying and counting cars on our roads for more than 70 years, but data on cyclists and pedestrians is limited. TxDOT has teamed up with Texas A&M Transportation Institute researchers to evaluate the best pedestrian bicycle monitoring technology to get an accurate pulse of those who walk or bike on our Texas roadways. According to Texas A&M, pedestrians and cyclists are about 5-10% of the total traffic stream we see in Texas. โThis is a fairly new area in traffic monitoring in terms of monitoring bicyclists and pedestrians, and it uses some newer technologies,โ P.E. So this information is imperative to help identify pedestrians and cyclists make their presence count when it comes to transportation planning.
