Telraam wins prestigious prize in Leipzig
Telraam, the traffic sensor that allows citizens to count the traffic on their streets themselves, won the prestigious 'Smart Pedal Pitch' at Velo-city in Leipzig. The Belgian tool is also gaining popularity in other countries.
An award and a pilot project
The 'Smart Pedal Pitch' is an international competition of the Velo-city congress, the annual world summit for cycling fans and professionals. The prize rewards innovative and market-ready technologies that cities can deploy to improve their cycling mobility. This year, Telraam won the final from Northern Irish company See.Sense and Austrian company Velovio.
In addition to international recognition for Telraam's innovative nature, the prestigious prize also includes a mobility project in the city of Leipzig. And that's worth €17,000. So the first Telraam sensors will soon appear on the streets of Leipzig.
Popular at home and abroad
Leipzig is not the first foreign project for Telraam. Nearly 2,000 Telraam sensors are active worldwide. The technology is also increasingly used by engineering firms and mobility professionals. They are eager to start working with the high-quality and objective traffic data that Telraam sensors collect.
We now have more than 60 counting networks at home and abroad. We recently added a new network of 50 sensors in San Francisco.

Citizens map traffic themselves
Counting window works via a sensor that citizens hang on a street-side window. Passing traffic is automatically counted and categorised. The system distinguishes between pedestrians, cyclists, cars and trucks. At www.telraam.net, anyone can access the collected data in real time.
Thanks to Telraam's technology, citizens and policymakers can not only monitor local traffic flows, but also collaborate on better mobility policies based on reliable data.
