SensMax TAC-B 3D-WP Outdoor People Counting Radar
The SensMax TAC-B 3D-WP is a Wi-Fi connected outdoor radar sensor for real-time pedestrian and bicycle counting. It is designed for parks, streets, promenades, walking trails, cycling routes, public spaces and other outdoor locations where reliable visitor flow data is needed without cameras.
The sensor uses 60 GHz mmWave radar to detect movement, direction and speed. It can count people moving in both directions, classify traffic as pedestrians or cyclists, and send data in real time over Wi-Fi to dashboards, reports and external systems.
TAC-B 3D-WP works in different light and weather conditions. The camera-free design means there is no video recording, no images and no personal data collection, making it suitable for privacy-safe outdoor monitoring in public areas and Smart City projects.

People Counting Technology 60 GHz mmWave Radar
SensMax TAC-B 3D-WP uses 60 GHz mmWave radar to detect movement across the monitored area. The sensor measures direction and speed, allowing it to count people in both directions and separate pedestrian traffic from bicycle traffic.
Unlike video analytics, TAC-B 3D-WP does not film people or record images. It works with anonymous radar data only. This makes the sensor suitable for public locations where privacy, GDPR compliance and camera-free monitoring are important.
Radar technology also works in conditions where camera-based systems can be affected by light. TAC-B 3D-WP can operate in daylight, darkness, glare, fog, rain and snow, making it suitable for year-round outdoor monitoring.
Pole and Sidewall Installation for Outdoor Counting
TAC-B 3D-WP is installed on a pole, lamp post, wall, pillar or similar vertical structure. The recommended mounting height is approximately 2.5-3.5 m, depending on the path width, traffic direction and required coverage area.
The sensor monitors movement across the selected area and uses configurable counting lines and zones to measure traffic flow. A single sensor can cover wide outdoor paths and open areas, reducing the need for several narrow-beam counters.
Pole and sidewall mounting is suitable for parks, walking trails, bicycle routes, city streets, promenades, entrances to public spaces, crossings and outdoor event areas.

Real-Time Wi-Fi Reporting and Integration
TAC-B 3D-WP is designed for outdoor people counting projects where data must be available in real time. The sensor connects to a Wi-Fi network and sends counting data to SensMax dashboards for live monitoring, reports and long-term analysis.
Wi-Fi connectivity makes the sensor suitable for parks, promenades, tourist areas, campuses, outdoor facilities and public spaces where a local wireless network or outdoor access point is available.
For integration projects, TAC-B 3D-WP supports API and MQTT data export. This makes it possible to connect visitor flow data to Smart City platforms, BI dashboards, GIS systems, environmental monitoring platforms and other third-party software.
If the Wi-Fi connection is temporarily unavailable, the sensor can store data on the internal Micro SD card and upload it later when the connection is restored.
Outdoor Applications
SensMax TAC-B 3D-WP is designed for outdoor locations where live pedestrian and bicycle counting data is needed without cameras.
- Parks and green spaces for visitor flow analysis, maintenance planning and funding reports.
- Walking and cycling trails for pedestrian and bicycle traffic monitoring.
- City streets and promenades for Smart City footfall analytics and public-space planning.
- Crossings and access points for real-time occupancy and movement monitoring.
- Tourist attractions for visitor flow analytics and seasonal trend reporting.
- Outdoor events and temporary venues for live visitor flow and crowd-level reporting.
Business Benefits
TAC-B 3D-WP helps municipalities, park operators and public-space managers understand how outdoor areas are used. Real-time visitor flow data supports better maintenance planning, service scheduling, public safety decisions and investment reporting.
Instead of relying on assumptions, operators can see how many pedestrians and cyclists use a route, when traffic peaks, which areas are busiest and how visitor patterns change after events, infrastructure changes or seasonal shifts.
- plan cleaning and waste collection based on real visitor traffic;
- schedule staff, rangers or safety patrols during busy periods;
- compare usage across different paths, entrances and public areas;
- measure event impact and seasonal visitor trends;
- support funding requests and public-space improvement projects with real data.
Example in Action
A coastal park installs TAC-B 3D-WP sensors at several path entrances. The sensors send real-time Wi-Fi data showing which routes are busiest and when visitor peaks occur during weekdays, weekends and public events.
After reviewing the statistics, the park team adjusts bin emptying schedules, places staff in the busiest areas and updates visitor signage during festivals. The data also helps justify future improvements to walking and cycling infrastructure.
