Download Active Travel Guide 2026, a practical resource for monitoring active travel modes in complex urban environments across Australia and New Zealand. Learn how to plan continuous monitoring, evaluate infrastructure performance and use transport insights to support safer, evidence-led decisions.

GO BEYOND ONE-OFF COUNTS

Shared paths, protected cycleways, active travel corridors and public spaces need more than a snapshot of activity. Transport teams need to understand how people move, where risk may be emerging and whether an intervention is meeting its objectives. This guide provides a clear framework for moving from monitoring data to stronger evaluation, funding and planning decisions.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

✅ Set the right monitoring objectives for your active travel scheme, baseline and evaluation timeline.

✅ Choose an approach for your environment, including shared paths, cycleways, corridors and urban spaces.

✅ Use multimodal data such as classified counts, speed, dwell time, anonymised trajectories and near-miss analytics, to help you identify and evidence active travel and modal shift

✅ Scope, deploy and use monitoring effectively, from sensor location and installation through to reporting and long-term evaluation.

This guide also explains VivaCity’s Edge AI approach, which processes video on the sensor to produce anonymised transport data without storing personal data.

WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU?

The guide is written for transport authorities, local councils and infrastructure teams working to plan, evaluate and communicate the impact of active travel investment. It includes practical ANZ context and examples from Wellington City Council, the City of Port Phillip and Waka Kotahi.
