University · Car counting

Car counting, wireless from day one.

Trenching and cabling made traditional counting a non-starter on a working campus. JAPA removed the infrastructure, and the pain points, entirely.

Cal Poly Pomona — wireless car counting across campus lots and structures.
The challenge

Infrastructure was the whole problem.

Counting cars the traditional way meant digging trenches and pulling cable across active roadways and structures, work that is expensive, disruptive, and slow to permit on a live campus.

Every month spent breaking ground was a month without data, and a month of complaints the parking team could not answer with facts.

The deployment

A system with nothing to trench.

JAPA's virtually wireless sensors and lane counters install without cabling or trenching, so the team stood up live counts without touching the pavement.

From there, every entry and exit rolls up into the Console in real time, and out to a driver map that points commuters straight to open spaces.

  • No trenching, no cabling, no roadway closures
  • Live entry and exit counts across lots and structures
  • A driver-facing map that cut circling

“One of the biggest challenges with a car counting project was the need for infrastructure. Digging trenches and pulling cables can be incredibly expensive. JAPA made all of the pain points go away with their virtually wireless system. I highly recommend JAPA for car counting solutions.”
