Turnstile counts pedestrians, vehicles and offers real-time monitoring
The International Friendship Bridge, linking Foz do Iguaçu and Ciudad del Este, records daily between 90,000 and 100,000 people, including pedestrians, drivers and passengers. The turnstile installed on the Brazilian side counts only pedestrians, without immigration checks.
The bridge, considered a crucial link between Brazil and Paraguay, has its flow of people and vehicles monitored by a turnstile installed at the Brazilian customs. The daily pedestrian count ranges from 90,000 to 100,000, while vehicle traffic hovers around 40,000 to 45,000 per day.
Monitoring is not limited to counting; the portal Catve.com provides live cameras that show traffic conditions, allowing drivers to choose more suitable crossing times. The same technology is present on the Tancredo Neves Bridge, which connects Foz do Iguaçu to Puerto Iguazú in Argentina.
The increase in flow on holidays, weekends and special dates underscores the importance of the data for urban planning, commerce and tourism in the region. The movement of people directly influences the local market, which adapts to visitor demand.
To learn more about the turnstile, real-time monitoring and the relevance of the data, consult the original source.
