TRAX Apollyon User’s Manual

5-16

Layout: L13

Layout Type: Traditional Road Tubes
Sensors Used: 3 Road Tubes
Spacing: Two Feet
Count Formats: Basic, Volume
Data: Volume, Gap
Channels: 3 Channels, A, B-A, C-B

This layout is the same as the L2 layout, but with the addition of a tube for 
a third channel. Refer to the L2 layout for further information.

The tubes should be spaced two feet apart. For improved accuracy with 
this type of data collection, we recommend that the L7 layout be used 
with the Road Ramp system to isolate each lane. Visit our web site at 
www.jamartech.com for more information.
