Problem/challenge of city of Zurich

• An existing loop counter (see existing sensors above) costs CHF 5000 (sensor + installation).
• Each loop counter actually consists of two loops in order to detect the direction of travel.
• Sensors use SIM cards and work reliably (traffic via France for some reason–maybe French SIM card or so).
• Robert responsible for slow traffic in Zurich is mainly interested in the development of bicycle usage. Is it increasing? To what extent?
• Understanding the behaviour of cyclists in different weather conditions is also interesting to see. E.g.: Is it worthwhile to plow bike lanes in winter?
• From where do cyclists enter the city?
