In the spring of 2026, the urban transformation of our major cities reached a point of no return. With the goal of "zero accidents" in urban areas and the proliferation of lanes reserved for active transportation, elected officials faced a logistical challenge. How could they reallocate public space without creating major congestion? The answer lay in the precision of traffic counting .


Data at the heart of urban planning


The era of vague estimates is over. To justify the creation of a bike lane or the pedestrianization of a neighborhood, decision-makers need irrefutable, quantifiable evidence. Quantitest acts as a trusted third party, providing traffic audits with surgical precision.


Our interventions in flow counting allow us to distinguish:

  • The exact typology of users (cargo bikes, scooters, PRM, utility vehicles).

  • Actual peak attendance figures are often delayed compared to classic predictive models for 2024.

  • Risky behaviors at critical intersections.


Anticipate rather than correct


By 2026, the city must be "flexible." Urban planning must be able to evolve. By conducting before-and-after studies, Quantitest helps local authorities measure the effectiveness of their sustainable mobility policies . Our data allows for adjustments to traffic light timings, improved safety around schools, and streamlined freight transport, thus ensuring harmonious coexistence among all road users.
