This is more like an upgraded version the traffic counters with pneumatic hoses that have been used to count road traffic for many decades. they know how many vehicles go by (actually, how many axles), and when, but no idea who, but it still provides valuable information to the planners (I sometimes wondered if they were sufficiently sensitive to count bicycles).
