Questions about number of visits

Hello,

I am trying to understand the number of visitors in the Weekly Patterns - Foot Traffic - One-Week Sample file. The documentation says that "If a device was captured within the boundaries of the geofence (for any given amount of time), it is registered as a visit", and I am wondering if it requires any action for the device to be captured. For instance, does the user need to use a certain application (or actively use a phone) to be counted? Also, when the geofences (placekeys) include streets, are bypassers on the street (including cars) counted as visits?

Thank you very much,

Natalie
