Our vision

Mobility at the service of the common good

Through our analysis and advisory work, we contribute to more efficient, more inclusive and more sustainable transport policies. We believe in mobility that connects, structures, energizes — and that respects resources, rhythms, needs.

Dedication

We are passionate about our job, and invested in the success of the projects that are entrusted to us.

Openness

We cultivate curiosity, questioning, and knowledge sharing within the team and with our customers.

Transparency

We assume our role as objective, independent experts who care about the general interest.

Excellence

Our recommendations are based on solid methods, reliable data and constant rigor.

Le groupe

Kiomda, une technologie au service de l’action locale

Depuis 2024, Explain s’est associé à la société Kiomda, créatrice de solutions innovantes pour mesurer la fréquentation des espaces publics.

Fondée en Bretagne par Jean-Claude Dubois, inventeur reconnu et titulaire de 28 brevets, Kiomda conçoit et produit des capteurs de comptage autonomes, discrets et respectueux de l’espace public.

Sa technologie stéréoscopique brevetée permet de compter piétons, cyclistes et véhicules avec une grande précision, sans travaux ni collecte de données personnelles.

Cette intégration dans le groupe Adeona, créé par Explain, permet de rapprocher deux expertises complémentaires : celle de l'électronique de pointe au service de la donnée, portée par Kiomda, et celle de l’analyse et de la planification, portée par Explain.

En croisant nos compétences, nous offrons aux collectivités, aux aménageurs et aux gestionnaires de sites des solutions complètes, allant de l'obervation à la stratégie, pour mieux comprendre les usages, réguler les flux et piloter les transitions de mobilité.
