The Transportation Research Board's National Cooperative Highway Research Program "Report 797: Guidebook on Pedestrian and Bicycle Volume Data Collection" describes methods and technologies for counting pedestrians and bicyclists, offers guidance on developing a non-motorized count program, gives suggestions on selecting appropriate counting methods and technologies, and provides examples of how organizations have used non-motorized count data to better achieve their goals and fulfill their missions.

The research behind the guidebook, which includes the results of the testing and evaluation of a range of automated count technologies that capture pedestrian and bicycle volume data, can be found on the TRB website.
