QuercusVL Programming Manual

●

TotalStoppedTime   (TotalStoppedT):   total   amount   of   time   while   the   vehicle   is 
stopped, previous time to the red light activation included; in milliseconds. 

4.6.5. RealTimeInformation

Indicates that a real time event has been received. Depending of the type of generated event,  
some fields are used and some others not. Fields not providing any information have a value of 
“-1”. 

●

Type: 4

●

Message Data:

●

DetectorId: identifier of the detector that generated the real time event.

●

DetectorType (Type):  type of detector that generated the real time event:

○

1: speed detector.

○

2: queue detector.

○

3: presence detector.

○

4: red light detector.

○

5: stoppped car detector.

●

Timestamp:   timestamp   when   the   real   time   event   was   generated,   using   a 

QuercusTimestamp 

structure.

●

Speed:   approximated   speed   of   the   detected   vehicle;   in   km/h.   If   speed 
calculation was not possible, its value will be -1.

●

Length: approximated length of the detected vehicle; in millimetres. If length 
calculation was not possible its value will be -1. Si no ha sido posible calcular la 
longitud su valor será -1.

●

WrongWay (WW):  true if the direction of the detected vehicle is incorrect, and 
false if the direction is correct. 

●

Occupation: occupancy percentage of the detector.

●

IsOccupied (IsOc): true if the detector reports vehicle presence, and false if free. 
Field operational only in a presence detector.
