The WeCount pilot in Madrid and Barcelona aims to empower citizens to crowdsource information and data to address pressing traffic and environmental issues in the area.

Ljubljana is a political and cultural centre as well as the main commercial, business, congress, exhibition, transport, the scientific and educational centre of the Republic of Slovenia. Ljubljana is also Slovenia's largest employment centre with 180,000 jobs and its university centre with 41,000 students. Due to the daily migrants from the region to work and school, who mainly depend on the use of cars, Ljubljana has for many years been confronted with the problems of traffic and environmental problems.

The WeCount project will provide local communities in the Greater Dublin area with the tools to measure traffic in their neighbourhoods. Telraam traffic counting sensors will be installed on participants’ windows and will count cars, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians on local streets.

The Cardiff case study will primarily explore the interlinkages between road transport and air pollution. We will investigate issues such as traffic volume (i.e. number of vehicles on the road), vehicle types (i.e. cars, HGVs), vehicle speed and solutions such as active travel. By exploring these issues, we can also gain insights into other urban mobility challenges such as road safety, rat-running and barriers to sustainable behaviours.
