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.
