Welcome back to our training program on how to get started with Eco-Counters!
In this email – part 4 of 8 – we talk about how to get the most out of your data and how you can use Eco-Visio to perform simple analyses on your bike and pedestrian count data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Think of dashboards as white pages that you will populate with different types of visual data – widgets. Adding a new widget is easy! After running an analysis, click the green button below to add it to one of your dashboards. From here, you will be prompted to choose the title and the location where you want your widget to appear. Done!
|
|
|
Understanding hourly trends
|
|
|
|
With the help of Eco-Visio, you can easily create hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly overviews of aggregated count data.
To do this, first log into your Eco-Visio account. Click on the Analysis button and select the Comparison Analysis option. There, under Comparison Types, you can select the timebase, data type and other criteria (like user type, direction, channel) under ‘Show More’.
|
|
|
|
Capturing weekly usage patterns
|
|
|
|
Weekly (day-by-day) analysis allows you to understand how bike and pedestrian counts differ throughout the week, including daily peaks and weekly volume trends.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Looking at daily count data on the left, a commuting trend becomes evident. The daily average number of pedestrians counted is higher during the week than on the weekend.
Meanwhile, cyclist numbers remain fairly consistent throughout the week.
This indicates a clear preference for walking among commuters.
|
|
|
|
To do this, once again go to the Analyses page => Profile, choose a site (in the above example we used a counter that includes both bike and pedestrian data), set the ‘profile type’ to ‘Daily‘ and click on Apply to view the graph.
You can keep the period as default or set it to other options, like ‘Current Month’, ‘Last Month’, ‘Rolling Year’ and much more.
|
|
|
|
Calculate growth rates over time
|
|
|
|
Using a simple widget in Eco-Visio, you can display the percent change in bike or pedestrian counts from one month to the next.
Add the “key figure” widget to your dashboard and then set the parameters: the reference period, the trend to analyze, and the calculated value (for example: rolling month, previous period and daily average).
Once finalized, you will see the evolution of daily counts between two successive monthly periods.
By ‘creating a widget’ from this analysis, the data will be added to your dashboard and will be there already, updated, every time you log into the platform!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example: In this case, we see that daily average bike counts have increased by 6.5% compared to the previous period.
