Guatemala

With Bridges to Prosperity, the SWEET Lab is demonstrating pedestrian footbridge usage at three remote sites in rural Guatemala.

Three technologies were installed in February 2011 by a SWEET Lab team, and are currently being demonstrated:

  • Pyroelectric heat sensors
  • Pressure slab sensors
  • Remote GSM data access

These usage monitors will guide Bridges to Prosperity in their assessment, implementation and monitoring work, ultimately improving access of rural residents to markets, education and healthcare.
