What is the TRAX I?

The TRAX I Counter/Classifier is an automatic traffic recorder designed
and built by JAMAR Technologies, Inc. It is designed for ease of use, but
contains many options and features that are needed for comprehensive traffic
data analysis.

The TRAX I can collect data in four modes: basic (raw) data, volume only
data, per vehicle data and binned class, speed and/or gap data. These vari-
ous modes allow you to go from a simple one lane volume count to a multi-
lane, individual axle time-stamped raw data collection with the same piece
of equipment.

The TRAX I can store up to 32 different studies. It stores the type of study
done, the date and time, a site code and the data for the study. At any
convenient time, you can transfer the data to your computer or a data mod-
ule through the RS-232 serial port and process the data. Reports for vol-
ume, class, speed and gap can be generated using JAMAR’s data analysis
software.
