Fresh Pond Reservation Usership

The Water Department manages several "people counter" sensors at Fresh Pond Reservation (FPR). The sensors count visitors on the Perimeter Road, the main trail at FPR that circles Fresh Pond. Counters are also located at popular entrances to FPR. Some of the counters record both cyclists and pedestrians. However, most do not differentiate between user types.

The sensors report user counts in 15-minute intervals. This dataset contains hourly aggregations of the 15-minute data. All counts include people moving in both directions past the sensors. The sensors are made by the company Eco-Counter.

The Water Department’s Watershed Division manages Fresh Pond Reservation (FPR). Our primary goals are to preserve drinking water quality, recreational open spaces, natural green spaces, wildlife habitat, and provide a refuge from hectic urban life.

水务部门负责管理位于Fresh Pond自然保护区（FPR）的多处“人流计数”传感器。这些传感器位于环绕Fresh Pond的Perimeter Road主步道上，以及FPR热门入口处。部分计数器同时记录骑自行车者和行人。然而，大多数计数器并未区分用户类型。传感器以15分钟为间隔报告用户计数。本数据集包含15分钟数据的每小时汇总。所有计数均包括经过传感器的双向移动人群。这些传感器由Eco-Counter公司制造。水务部门的水域管理分部负责管理Fresh Pond自然保护区（FPR）。我们的主要目标是保护饮用水质量、休闲开放空间、自然绿色空间、野生动物栖息地，并为繁忙的都市生活提供避难所。
