What is the Traffic Engineering II Radar?
The Traffic Engineering II Radar is an automatic vehicle data collector
distributed by JAMAR Technologies, Inc. It is designed for ease of use,
but contains many options and features to provide comprehensive speed
complaint management. This device is a non-invasive data collector that
uses radar to gather highly accurate vehicle data, which means there is no
need to install anything in the road.
With the Traffic Engineering II Radar, you can gather data that includes
vehicle speed, length, gap and volume. At any convenient time, you can
transfer the data from the Traffic Engineering II Radar to your computer
for processing.
The Traffic Engineering II Radar contains 16 MB of memory, allowing you
to record up to 500,000 vehicles.
How is the
Traffic Engineering II Radar Powered?
The Traffic Engineering II Radar is powered by a 12 Volt rechargeable
battery. The standard battery used with the device is a 12V 12A lithium
battery. In general, a fully charged battery (13.4 volts or higher) will record
data for 14 days before needing to be recharged. The battery voltage can be
seen when the unit is connected to the STARnext Software.
Note that when the Traffic Engineering II Radar is first shipped to you
the battery is disconnected and will need to be connected before first use.
We recommend that you check the voltage level of the battery when it is
first connected. A fully charged battery should register at 13.4 or higher.
If your battery is lower than this, we recommend that you charge it before
the first use.
Also note that the Traffic Engineering II Radar will be in running mode
whenever the battery is connected. We recommend that you disconnect
the battery whenever the Traffic Engineering II Radar is not in the field
collecting data.
