The Mobility section explores how Berliners move through the city—by foot, bike, car, and public transport. Using data from tools like Telraam, we monitor real-time traffic flows and street activity to better understand mobility patterns across neighborhoods.
The HTW Smart City Lab currently operates a Telraam sensor on-site and is actively monitoring hyperlocal traffic flows within and around the HTW Berlin Treskowallee campus. This allows for detailed, street-level insights that support data-informed decisions on campus mobility, pedestrian safety, and sustainable transport planning.
By combining citizen-generated data with digital visualization, we aim to make Berlin's transport systems more efficient, equitable, and future-ready.
Thematic area: Mobility
Counting networks also create the opportunity for dialogue between traffic planners, local authorities and their most affected communities: the citizens who live in - and use - these streets. This is possible for traffic counting in an open and accessible way, namely in the form of a citizen science project.
Telraam is a multimodal traffic data collection solution with a purpose-built, affordable and user-friendly device - the Telraam S2. The traffic model is available as an indoor and outdoor model.
The Telraam sensor continuously monitors a street from the window of a citizen, school or office building or from a lighting pole, providing data on different modes of transport, including motorised vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
Telraam S2 counts and classifies road users and provides anonymous, aggregated data by traffic mode and direction at 15-minute time intervals. It also derives an indicative speed distribution (and V85 speed) for cars.
Telraam S2 uses specially trained AI and a proprietary tracking algorithm to detect, classify and count road users with high precision in a wide range of typical street environments. Users place a Telraam sensor in front of a window or on a pole, and the data collected can be shared as open data with local authorities and policymakers.
