Chapter 7: Configuring Lanes

Adjusting lane properties and thresholds
Setting
Description
Details
PGA
Changes the radar's
overall sensitivity.
Increasing the value
will decrease the
sensitivity, which
could result in missed
detections.
Before changing
this setting, contact

com.
Extension Time
Increases or
decreases the
extension time, which
the sensor uses to
prevent vehicles
with trailers from
being broken up into
multiple detections.
Adjust this setting if
the sensor seems
to be mishandling
detections of vehicles
with trailers. Increasing
the extension time
will help make sure
such vehicles aren’t
counted as multiple
detections, but too
much can lead to
multiple vehicles
being detected as a
single vehicle.
Lane Setup
Lane Name
Allows you to change
the name of the lane.
This can also be
changed in the Lane
Configuration screen.
When you change
the lane name here,
it updates the Lane
Configuration screen
as well, and vice
versa.
Lane Direction
Shows the direction of
traffic that was set by
a user.
This can also be
changed in the Lane
Configuration screen.
This is mostly for
visual representation
only and will not
change reported data.
Note.
SmartSensor
Manager uses
the terms "gain"
and "PGA"
interchangeably.
Note.
Unlike the
SmartSensor HD, it
is often necessary
to calibrate the
SmartSensor V
for vehicle length
classification
and occupancy
measurements. This
calibration should
be done on a site-
by-site basis and is
dependent upon
detection thresholds.
