Tube Length
The total length of road tubes used in low speed applications should not
exceed forty (40) feet. Shorter lengths may be used provided all traffic is
travelling at low speeds.
Tube Placement
The TRAX will record a count even if the front and rear tires on only one
side of the vehicle passes over the tube. As a result, you may choose to
extend the road tube only as far as is necessary to be hit by one side of the
vehicle.
The above rules may be varied slightly since each tube installation for low
speed traffic counting is unique. The tube length and DT may be adjusted
to fit your specific parameters. Once you have decided on your settings,
monitor incoming data to ensure accuracy.
With low speed data collection, we recommend that data be collected in the
Basic mode. This allows you to make further adjustments in the STARnext
software once your data has been downloaded.
