Tally is up to five cheaper than the traditional but temporary cable across a lane with its accompanying roadside data collection box system. The data is collected by the physical contact of the vehicle running over the cable. Instead, it takes little time to embed the solar-powered Tally sensor – small enough to hold in your hand – into the centre of a lane where it will provide real-time data for up to eight years. The unit needs only normal readily available 4G connection and all information is sent to the cloud for easy analysis by road agencies.
The cost depends on the type of data required by a road agency or contractor, and ranges from traffic flow to environmental factors such as heat, freezing, greenhouse gas emissions all at ground level.
One of the key advantages of Tally is its accuracy, says Martin. By leveraging advanced technology, it can detect even the slightest changes in the road conditions, allowing for proactive maintenance and improved safety.
Tally is currently being tested in New Zealand and the company is now looking for strategic partners in Europe.
