Pay attention that the signal head or other
obstacle is not obstructing the radar front face

Vehicles that enter within the stop-line zone
(0-10m) from the side (perpendicular
approach) may not be detected (Figure 14). To
validate a measure, the radar needs:
o
to track an approaching movement at
a minimum distance of 8 meters;
o
to measure an approaching movement
above 8 km/h during a minimum of
100ms (the minimum speed can vary
within the detection zone).

This drawing shows the theoretical radar lobe for vehicles approaching around 50 kmh. Different “stop-line” length
zones can be set: 10 or 15 m; the approaching zone length is about 60 m for a car and can be limited to 20m.
