Macquarie University and the City of Ryde Council installed pedestrian-counting sensors throughout Macquarie Park, as part of a project to ease congestion in the growing education, residential, retail and business hub.

The pedestrian counters monitored pedestrian flow and blockages, and the data will be used to improve safety and connectivity to transport services.

Historical transport, parking and pedestrian data are consolidated on an open-source platform to inform planners and local businesses across Macquarie Park.

A dashboard to view the data can be found at http://smartcity-api.science.mq.edu.au/

The raw data that makes up the dashboard is available below.
