Before choosing the next business, they measured the sidewalk first

Toko Sekiyu operates a rent-a-car franchise location in front of a railway station in Ichihara, Chiba. The team could feel the potential of the station-front spot, but had no data on how many people actually pass the store, when they pass, or who they are. As the company explored diversifying into a new business at the same location, it needed a way to evaluate the site with measurements rather than intuition.

SpaceVision installed a Site Analysis wireless measurement kit positioned so the entire sidewalk in front of the store falls within view. The camera was clamp-mounted to the facade and connected to the store's network, with measurement running within half a day. Every frame is processed and discarded in the on-site edge analyzer — only aggregate numbers reach the console, and no passer-by is ever identified.

The sidewalk in front of the store began accumulating as hour-by-hour data. More than 3,200 people pass the store on an average day, weekday traffic peaks around 6 PM, and people aged 10–29 account for roughly a third of all traffic. The hypothesis that student traffic is strong was confirmed by measurement, and the review of youth-oriented business formats now proceeds on data. When the measurement ends, the kit can be collected and redeployed to compare other candidate sites on the same basis.
