Trails can get busy, and others stay empty, but how do you know? We built Trailsense to answer that. Our solar-powered nodes count hikers using anonymized wifi probe requests, the pings a phone sends while scanning for known networks. A dashboard turns those counts into a clear view of how busy each trail is over time. No cameras, no app for hikers to install, and no personal data ever leaving the device.
Trailsense is a solar-powered hardware solution that uses anonymized Wi-Fi probe requests to count hikers on trails. Its dashboard provides real-time data on trail usage without requiring cameras or personal data from users.
