Hi there,
Short question: monitoring a Telraam in my street I noticed recently the results for NIGHT. What does this option counts? There’s hardly any traffic and though it counts more movement than any of the others during the day.
Hi there - and thanks for joining us
Yes, the Night counts were rolled out during 2024 but it took some time to get all devices fully updates so I’m not sure when yours would have started this.
Here is an explanation of the night count and how it works:
IN essence we count lights, so we can give an idea of street activity, but cannot classify it as we would need to see the object to know what it was.
I assume you are in the Northern Hemisphere so as our days are currently shorter, the hours of ‘darkness’ include the evening rush hour so you will get a lot of volume, but over the year you will see this change.
I see, I’m living near Amsterdam.
Darkness falls in around 1800 hrs.
Traffic during night hours is really minimum, approx 5-10 per night.
Three counter shows sarcasm hundreds per night, so that explains it all.
Thank you very much for your quick response!
