Selecting a Layout
The next screen you see is used to
select the type of layout you will
be using to collect your data.
The Apollyon contains 14 pre-pro-
grammed layouts, labelled L1 through L14. These all represent different
ways of placing road tubes on the road to collect data.
Press the TAB key and the highlight will move from L1 to L2. Also notice
that the bottom two lines of the display changes to provide a description of
whichever layout you have highlighted.
Which layout you select largely depends on the type of data you need.
Some layouts can only provide volume and gap data (L1, L2, L3, L4, L7,
L8, L9, L13, L14) while others will provide speed and class in addition to
volume and gap (L5, L6, L10, L11, L12). For full descriptions of the dif-
ferent tube layouts, refer to chapter 5.
If you need to produce reports for speed or classification data, the most
commonly used layout is L6. This is designed for standard two-lane roads
with traffic traveling in opposite directions. Another commonly used lay-
out is L5, which is designed for one-lane of traffic (or possibly two if each
lane is going in the same direction). The data for either of these layouts
can be collected with one EZ Belt, or two road tubes if you are not using
the EZ Belt. (Note that any layouts that provide speed & class data also
automatically provide volume data.)
For this tutorial, we'll select the L6 layout, so press the TAB key until L6
is flashing, then press DO.
The next screen gives you the option to enter a Site Code for your count.
This feature allows you to enter information specific to where the study
was done, such as street names, location codes, etc. If you do a lot of
counts at different locations, using Site Codes can help you keep track of
them all. We won't use one for this tutorial, so press TAB to highlight
NO ,
the press DO.
