Portable and permanent traffic analyzers count traffic, and measure vehicle length and speed. The devices then store the data for future analysis, or report conditions in near real time.
Collecting short term traffic data can be done by a variety of methods. The key is a solution that is easy to use, quick to deploy, and accurate. The Vaisala Nu-Metrics Portable Traffic Analyzer NC200 is the product that offers all of these features. The NC200 can be placed on the roadway in as little as 60 seconds, gathering accurate counts, speeds, and lengths for several weeks if necessary.
After data has been collected from a permanent traffic analyzer, the data must be turned into usable reports. The Vaisala Nu-Metrics WDM Portable Traffic Analyzer Software is the solution by providing simple to use software features to create reports of traffic data.
Monitoring traffic can be done through many different methods, and the important thing for customers to remember is to choose a sensor that meets their needs. The Vaisala Permanent Traffic Analyzer TCP500 is a solution that can be integrated into a RWIS weather station, used to monitor free flowing traffic or vehicles entering or leaving a site, such as a shopping center or military location.
