SensMax TAC-B 4G Outdoor People Counting Radar

The SensMax TAC-B 4G is an outdoor radar people counter with a built-in 4G/LTE modem for real-time pedestrian and bicycle counting. It is designed for city streets, parks, walking trails, promenades, public spaces and other outdoor locations where reliable visitor flow data is needed without cameras or fixed internet infrastructure.

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 through the built-in 4G/LTE modem or Wi-Fi connection.

TAC-B 4G works in all light conditions and typical outdoor weather. The camera-free design means there is no video recording, no images and no personal data collection, making it suitable for privacy-safe monitoring in public areas and Smart City projects.

People Counting Technology 60 GHz mmWave Radar

SensMax TAC-B 4G uses 60 GHz mmWave radar to detect movement across the monitored area. The radar tracks movement direction and speed, allowing the sensor to count visitors moving in both directions and separate pedestrians from cyclists.

Unlike video analytics, TAC-B 4G 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 is also reliable in conditions where camera-based systems can be affected by light. TAC-B 4G 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 4G is installed on a pole, lamp post, wall or similar vertical structure. The recommended mounting height is approximately 2.5-3 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 up to 10m wide outdoor paths and open areas.

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 4G Reporting and Integration

The built-in 4G/LTE modem allows TAC-B 4G to send counting data in real time without local internet infrastructure. This is useful for outdoor locations where Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet is not available, such as parks, beaches, trails, city streets and temporary event areas.

People counting data is sent to SensMax dashboards for live monitoring, reports and long-term analysis. If mobile connectivity is temporarily unavailable, events can be buffered on the internal Micro SD card and uploaded later when the connection is restored.

For integration projects, TAC-B 4G 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.

Outdoor Applications

SensMax TAC-B 4G 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.
• Beaches and outdoor attractions for attendance monitoring and service planning.
• Outdoor events and temporary venues for live visitor flow and crowd-level reporting.

Optional Solar Power for Remote Areas

For remote outdoor locations without wired power, TAC-B 4G can be used with a SensMax solar power system. This makes the sensor suitable for parks, nature areas, walking trails, beaches and other sites where fixed power and internet infrastructure are not available.

With 4G connectivity and solar power, the system can operate as an independent outdoor people counting solution for long-term monitoring.

Business Benefits

TAC-B 4G 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 people 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 city installs TAC-B 4G sensors on the main access routes leading to a central square and nearby promenade. The sensors send live 4G data showing how many pedestrians and cyclists arrive from each direction and how traffic changes during weekdays, weekends and seasonal events.

After reviewing the statistics, the city adjusts cleaning schedules, adds waste collection during busy evenings, assigns safety patrols to crowded blocks and uses the data to support future improvements to pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.
