Chapter 1 — Introduction to the ADR Plus LineThis chapter introduces the product and explains the layout of this manual, along withtype conventions and other topic. The following topics are discussed in detail in thischapter:• Getting Started Using your ADR Plus unit, on page 6.• About the ADR Product Line, on page 7.• What Makes it a Plus Unit, on page 8.• ADR-1000 Plus overview, on page 9.• ADR-2000 Plus overview, on page 10.• ADR-3000 Plus overview, on page 11.ADR Plus Technical Manual 5

Chapter 1 — Introduction to the ADR Plus LineOVERVIEW – GETTING STARTEDThe ADR is designed to be easy to operate. One method used to accomplish theease of operation is to factory set certain parameters.ImportantThe factory settings in this new ADR are different from previous ADR’syou may have used.You may wish to change these for your particular area of operations. Even if you areaccustomed to using other ADR or Peek equipment, you should take note of thesettings as listed below.1. The “SPACING” setting for speed sensing is factory set to 16 feet. You canchange this if desired, and should use a setting of 8 feet for work in a urban orslow traffic area.2. The factory setting for roadtube debounce is 40 ms., the maximum inter-axledistance on any vehicle is set to 35 feet, and the maximum length of anyvehicle is set to 80 feet.3. Data files collected from the ADR will be “daily” type (not continuous) and anew file will be started each night at midnight. You can change this if desired.4. File (memory) “wrapping” is active. “Wrapping” means that the oldest file isautomatically deleted when space is needed for new files. You can change thisif desired.5. The communications port will automatically “turn on” when a file transfer isrequested, and will “turn off” after the transfer is completed. Communicationsare set to a fast rate of 19,200 baud. You can change this if desired.If you have just received the ADRCheck the battery voltage and the internal battery connection before using the unit.If the battery is connected and has a usable charge, the display will turn on when youpress the green “ENTER” key on the control panel. When the display turns on, youcan read the battery voltage on the center of the display. The battery voltage shouldread approximately 6.40 volts before use.6 ADR Plus Technical Manual

About the ADR LineOverview – Getting StartedThis manual describes the ‘ADR Plus’ line of Automatic Data Recorder products fromPeek Traffic Corporation.The ADR has been developed to be the most advanced, yet simple-to-operateinstrument available today for the counting, classification and monitoring of traffic. It iscompletely self-contained, and includes control panel facilities for configuring, datacollection and live monitoring. All ADR units have at least one communications port,which allows a PC to modify the ADR’s settings and to collect the data stored. In fact,everything that can be done from the front control panel of the ADR can also beachieved by controlling the ADR from a PC. The PC can communicate via a modemwith the ADR by using an optional telemetry software package. Depending on thesensor configuration, the ADR is able to record the total volume of traffic, and avehicle’s direction, headway, gap, speed, axle classification, length and weight. Inaddition, details can be recorded on a per-vehicle, per axle or per sensor event basisfor later analysis. For axle classification, a classification tree is provided that meetsFHWA standards, or alternatively, custom classification can be configured by theoperator for local requirements.The ADR is a precision electronic instrument, which has been built to the higheststandards of quality and durability. Used with care, it will provide accurate andcomprehensive data for many years. The ADR is available in three main versions:the ADR-1000 and ADR-2000, which are portable, and the ADR-3000, which is a rackmount version suitable for permanent installations. The ADR-1000, ADR-2000, ADR-3000 (and “Plus”) versions have differing numbers of slots for adding optional sensorboards. These may include piezo, piezo WIM (Weigh In Motion), loop (presence) orcontact closure boards. The standard portable ADR has either 2 or 4 road tubeinputs. For other applications, additional sensor boards can be fitted to the ADRinternal expansion slots (up to eight boards in the racked version). Each board cancontain either eight loop (presence) inputs, eight piezo inputs, or fourteen contactclosure inputs.ADR Plus Technical Manual 7

Chapter 1 — Introduction to the ADR Plus LineWhat Puts the Plus in an ADR-Plus?The name “ADR Plus” indicates an enhanced version of the ADR which provides1 Megabyte of onboard SRAM memory within the basic ADR before adding extra costmemory solutions such as PCMCIA cards. The new “ADR-Plus” also contains anaddtional 1 Megabyte of onboard EEPROM space. (The ADR Plus line provides atotal of 1MB of usable onboard memory for firmware and data storage.)In addition, in the ADR Plus line, the Battery Sentinel circuitry has been integratedinto the main CPU board, along with asocket mounted 5 Amp Slow-Blow fuse. Byincorporating the latest developments insurface mount technology, the reliability hasbeen further enhanced and when service isrequired, it will be performed faster. Theother changes incorporated to assist inmanufacturing and service testing help tohold the line on rising costs while assuringthe best quality available. Since the ADRPlus CPU boards are direct replacementsfor previous boards, they provide a smoothupgrade path for existing equipmentowners. ADR Plus components include: ADR-1000-Plus main CPU board (#82-1099), the ADR-(2000-3000)-CPU-Plus (#82-1410-1010f), the Dual Comms card(#82-1081), and the PC-Card Drive (#82-1031). Various other sensor cards are alsoavailable and are described in other manuals.CPU Plus boards can be used as direct plug in, upgrade or repair replacements forprevious boards, and will provide: EEPROM capacity of 1MB, SRAM capacity of 1MB,Integrated Battery sentinel and CPU fuse, (Socket mounted 5 Amp Slow Blow). InPlus units, the sensor card hardware reset can be controlled by the CPU, and theinstallation of new firmware (Reprogramming) can be performed with without amotherboard. Additionally, in the ADR-2000 Plus and ADR 3000 Plus configurations,the CPU Plus card is fitted with 2 LED’s and a hardware reset button. (not shown on2000)8 ADR Plus Technical Manual

ADR-1000 PlusOverview – Getting StartedShown here is the ADR-1000 Plus. The ADR-1000 Plus builds upon the highstandards of the ADR-1000 and looks essentially the same. Inside, The ADR-1000Plus adds more memory and incorporates watertight barrier roadtube inputs. TheADR-1000 Plus unit pictured is equipped with the integral solar panel option and thePC Card (PCMCIA) memory options. The Solar option allows roadtube units to stay inthe field collecting data indefinitely. The PC Card memory option is an easy way tocollect or transfer files from unit to unit and to the office. In addition to the fourroadtube inputs, the ADR-1000 Plus has room for one sensor module, which canprovide eight loop, eight piezo, eight WIM, or 14 contact closure inputs depending onthe module fitted. Various other options are available for special applications anddata retrieval.Figure 1 – ADR-1000 Plus UnitADR Plus Technical Manual 9

Chapter 1 — Introduction to the ADR Plus LineADR-2000 PlusThe ADR-2000 Plus is the portable and expandable “big brother” to the 1000 unit andfeatures a easily assessable battery compartment for in the field battery changes without tools. A popular option is the solar panel (not shown) which is integral to the lidwhen ordered. Four expansion slots (one for memory, three for sensor modules)allow a extensive range of application options. When fitted with 3 of the SC-514Pcontact closure input cards, the portable ADR-2000 Plus is able to monitor amaximum of 42 lanes of traffic. WIM sensor boards are available which provideinputs for up to eight WIM sensors per board When fitted with three of the SL-58Peight channel loop cards, up to 24 lanes can be counted simultaneously with one loopin each lane. A WIM configuration option is two WIM modules and a loop module,providing up to eight lanes of Weigh-In-Motion data can be recorded from WIM-Loop-WIM arrays in each lane.Figure 2 – ADR-2000 Plus Unit – Lid closedFigure 3 – ADR-2000 Plus Unit – Lid open10 ADR Plus Technical Manual

Ifyou have a two laser array for classification purposes, the LZ 01 laser is usually thelead sensor. Press the down arrow key to see the screens for additional lanes, andadditional laser sensor units.The ‘Off’ value indicates the offset (in tenths of feet) between the laser itself and thestart of the nearest lane of traffic. 070 indicates that the front glass of the AxleLightlaser sensor is 7 feet from the first traffic lane.LW indicates lane width, in tenths of feet. So the 120 shown above indicates astandard lane width of 12 feet. (These settings can be input in the Calibrations >Laser portion of the ADR menus.)The second line shows feedback information received from the laser. The firstnumber shows the distance to the nearest object that has been detected, in tenths ofa foot. The second and third numbers on the second row are incremented each timea message is sent to (left number) and received from (right number) the laser sensorunit. The rightmost number on the second row indicates the distance to the oppositebarrier on the roadway, if one exists. If none exists, this number will indicate themaximum distance measured by the Axlelight, ‘1270’, or 127 feet.The third row shows the distance to the FAR SIDE of each lane’s detection zone. Soin our example above, it indicates that the far edge of lane one is 22 feet, the far edgeof lane two is 34 feet, then 46’ for lane three, and finally 58’ for lane four.The bottom row of numbers indicate the distance to the most recent detection withinthat lane’s zone.

If necessary, the recording intervalcan be different for each peak period. Peak intervals are used to save memory spaceand to allow collection of detailed data in the time periods it is needed. This isaccomplished by setting a very large NORMAL interval, (ex. 1 HR or more) for allhours when traffic is light, and then setting a small peak time interval (ex. 5 or 15MIN) for the heavy traffic times of day when detailed information is required.ADR Plus Technical Manual 49

Select the sensitivity level for each sensor and press ENTER to advance tothe next sensor.WHICH SENSORS?SA58P IN SLOT 01*SL58P IN SLOT 03Figure 40 – Which Sensors in the Sensitivity menuThe sensitivity of each sensor input can be adjusted if the ADR is found to beundercounting (increase sensitivity) or over counting (decrease sensitivity). The valuefor SENSITIVITY is dependent on the factors such as the flexibility of the road(oscillations in the road can cause phantom pulses) and the types of vehicle using theroad (heavy vehicles can cause an oscillation in the road that travels in front of thevehicle). You may need to increase the sensitivity if the road carries a lot of lighttraffic, such as motorcycles.

Chapter 6 — Configure MenuPhantom Axle DiagramThe value for TUBE DEBOUNCE is dependent on factors such as the speed of thetraffic and length of the tube for TUBE DEBOUNCE (reflections from the end of thetube can occur). The smoothness of the road surface (loose tubes or ruts in the roadcan result in an extra counts). In urban conditions with a typical average speed of 35MPH or less, it is normal to set the TUBE DEBOUNCE to 80 msec. In open freeflowing traffic conditions with a typical average speed of 50 miles per hour, it isnormal to set the TUBE DEBOUNCE to 30 msec. Adjustment of these values canimprove the accuracy of the data. In an urban area, use the Array Monitor function toobserve and count axles as they cross over the road tubes.Real Front AxlePhantom AxleNext Real AxleDebounce Time SettingToo Short = Counts extra AxlesCorrect = No additional AxlesToo Long = Removes real AxlesFigure 43 – Phantom Axle DiagramFor example; if a 2 axle vehicle slowly drives across the tubes and the ADR counts 3or 4 axles, increase the setting by adding 10 msec. Or in a high speed area, observeand count the axles on a 5 axle truck, if the ADR only counts 3 or 4 axles, decreasethe setting by subtracting 10 msec. If no adjustment is made, the ADR automaticallyuses a setting of 40 msec.The value for AXLE DEBOUNCE and WIM DEBOUNCE are also site dependent, andcan also be affected by factors such as the flexibility and roughness of the road.LaserThe Laser control only appears in the Configure menu if there is an AxleLight lasersensor installed and conntected to a contact closure module in the ADR.Read Laser ADDR: ffAllows a user to read the address of each Laser.Set Laser ADDR: 01The address in each Laser is set to 01 by default, this option allows resetting theaddress back to 01.56 ADR Plus Technical Manual

The detector useschannel scanning techniques which permit freedom from cross channel interferencefrom the eight channels within a detector. The detector has very good performancewhen parameters such as speed, occupancy, and headway are being measured.Automatic tuning on `power up' or reset allows detector operation in 2 seconds. Bothpower up and reset clear any detect and fault outputs already set in the detector.Software controls allow each channel sensitivity and Hysterisis to be adjusted whilethe detector is working, although a change in a setting will cause the detector to reset.Any individual channel can be `switched off', with a `channel off' the associated roadloop will not be energized.Failsafe on FaultOpen or short circuit loop: The channel led will go into detect condition while the loopfault condition exists, and the fault output led will light (if enabled by push button). Thefault output will be held as long as the fault exists.ADR Plus Technical Manual 93

Chapter 8 — ADR Add-On ModulesOperating InstructionsNote: THE POWER SUPPLY TO ALL DETECTORS IN A RACK MUST BESWITCHED OFF WHILE ANY DETECTOR IS BEING INSTALLED OR REMOVEDFROM THE RACK.1. With ONE multiple channel detector the FREQUENCY jumpers can normallyhave any setting as the channels of the detector are individually activated.2. Speed measurement :- Both channels should be set to the same sensitivity (inthe range 0.1 to 1.0%) and the speed measuring pair of channels must beadjacent.3. Where ROAD LOOPS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY ARE CONNECTED TODIFFERENT DETECTORS then channel separation may be necessary. Thefrequency modes should be different and with as much separation asavailable.4. Set SENSITIVITY and HYSTERESIS as required using software or the ADRcontrol panel.5. Power up or press RESET to initiate automatic tuning. This will take a nominal2 secs during which the DETECT leds will illuminate.There are two jumpers available to set the frequency of the SL58-P loop module,labeled as J19 and J20. Normally no setting is necessary due to the scanning natureof the detector. If interference or cross talk is noted between loop modules frequencyseparation may be necessary.

SL74-P LOOP MODULESL74-P Loop ModuleThe SL-74P are a low current four channel inductive loop module designed primarilyfor traffic data monitoring applications, using the `EURO card' printed circuit boardoutline. The detector uses channel scanning techniques which permit freedom fromcross channel interference from the four channels within a detector. The detectoruses the patented MT detection technique which has also been used in the PeekTraffic range of group 3, 5 and 7 detectors. One of the major advantages of the MTdetection technique is that the loop scanning period is consistent and substantiallyindependent of the loop inductance.Figure 79 – SL74-P Loop Module, side viewThe detector therefore has very good performance when parameters such as speed,occupancy, and headway are being measured. Automatic tuning on `power up' orreset allows detector operation in 2 seconds. Both power up and reset clear anydetect and fault outputs already set in the detector. Software controls allow eachchannel sensitivity and Hysterisis to be adjusted while the detector is working,although a change in a setting will cause the detector to reset. An individual channelcan be `switched off'. With a `channel off' the associated road loop will not beenergized. Particular features of the SL-74P are its low current requirement andstable operation with full presence time capability. The detector has an asynchronouscommunication port which allows an interrogating computer to read the detectorinternal data.Channel Frequency SettingsEach channel’s frequency is controlled by two of the eight dip switches. Channel 1 =DIP switches 1 & 2. Channel 2 = DIP switches 3 & 4. Channel 3 = DIP switched 5 &6. And Channel 4 by DIP switches 7 & 8.ADR Plus Technical Manual 97

GlossaryMany terms are used commonly in traffic data collection. Unfortunately,sometimes the same word is used to mean different things. This list containsthe terms we use, together with “our” definitions as used in this manual.2 RT – A unit will be equipped with two individual inputs for pneumatic roadtube axle sensorsAC Adapter Charger – Step-down transformer used to charge the internal batteryof an ADR1000 or 2000.ADR 1000 Plus – Self-Contained Lightweight Portable Traffic Counter / Classifierexpandable to support one additional sensor module.ADR 2000 Plus – Self-Contained Portable Traffic Counter / Classifier expandable tosupport three additional sensor modules.ADR 3010 Plus – Permanent 10” wide Rack-based Traffic Counter / Classifierwhich has the capability of supporting three sensors modules and two additionalsmart modules.ADR3019 Plus – Permanent 19” wide Rack-based Traffic Counter / Classifier whichhas the capability of supporting eight sensors modules and two additional smartmodules.ADR 6000 – Permanent High accuracy Rack-based Traffic Counter / Classifier usingonly loops and can be used where traffic conditions range from free-flow to Stop andgo.ADR Plus RS232 Module – Module has two additional RS232 Communicationports available for the ADR3000 only, Supports comm. 2 and 3 with baud rates up to115200.Air Switch – Pneumatic Switch sensor used to sense the incoming air pressureschange from a road-tube.ADR Plus Technical Manual 101

GlossaryAO – Alarm Output can be used to trigger a relay or similar device, available only onthe ADR2000 and 3000.Armed – Is displayed on the ADR display when the unit has a completed programand is waiting for the next full interval to begin recording.Array – When referring to an array, we mean a sensor, or group of sensors whichwork together to determine information about the vehicles passing over them. Anarray can span one or more Lanes, depending on array type, but are usually only onelane per array. Each array will assign a Flow number to any vehicles detected upon it.Some arrays, for example the single loop or single axle arrays, can only determine asingle Flow. Others, such as the Tube-and-a-half or two tube classification arrays candetermine more.Axle Class – Axle Class is vehicle type classification based on the number andspacing of axles on a vehicle. The most common reference for this is published asScheme “F”. See also Class or ClassificationAxleLight – Is an infrared axle sensor for use with the ADR Plus traffic recorders.The AxleLight allows users to perform traffic studies without venturing into or crossingthe roadway.Bending Plates – Bending Plate WIM systems utilize plates with strain gaugesbonded to the underside. As a vehicle passes over the bending plate, the WIMsystem analyses the strain measured by the strain gauges and calculates thedynamic load. The static load is estimated using the measured dynamic load andcalibration parameters.Bins – As used when saying “the number of speed bins. A bin can be thought of as acontainer for information or data. Bins are established by defining their limits. Anexample of a bin definition is contained in the following statement: “All of the carstraveling at (or above) 30 miles per hour and less than 35 miles per hour are recordedin this bin”. For any one study session the ADR can use up to 3,375 bins at once.Studies are usually described by the number of bins utilized, i.e.: 15 classes x 4 lanesis a total of 60 bins.Channel – Channel is similar in use to the word “lane” or “array” but is less specificand may have no physical reference. The data from one lane is normally collected viaone array and is then often stored in one channel. A channel has the capability ofeither separating the data from one array or lane (by “flow” direction) or can combinethe data from a set of arrays into one total. See also: CHANNEL MAPPING andSUMMATE CHANNELS.Channel Mapping – The CHANNEL MAPPING setting causes the count of vehiclesto be stored in one or more “channels”. The CHANNEL MAPPING option has thefollowing settings (SEPARATED and FORWARD ONLY are not available for arraytypes that cannot determine a vehicle’s direction):• COMBINED. This causes the count of vehicles from each array to be stored in achannel. The count is incremented each time a vehicle passes the array, no matter inwhich direction it is traveling. Channel 1 is for array 1, Channel 2 for array 2, etc.102 ADR Plus Technical Manual

Glossary• SEPARATED (by direction). This causes the count of vehicles from each array tobe stored in two channels. Channel 1 will contain the count of vehicles that aretraveling in the forward direction across array 1. Vehicles that are traveling in thereverse direction of array 1 will be contained in Channel 2. Note that if more arraysare used, each subsequent array will have two channels associated with it. Theforward direction is defined as those vehicles that are traveling from the lead sensorto the lag sensor.• FORWARD ONLY. Vehicles traveling in the reverse direction are ignored. Thecount is incremented each time a vehicle passes the array in the forward directiononly. Each array will have only one channel associated with it.• USER DEFINED. This enables you to specify the number of channels to create (themaximum, which is displayed on the screen, is dependent on the number of arraysand the array type). Once you have specified the number of channels, you can assigneach array’s count of vehicles to a particular channel. The “+” forward direction isdefined as vehicles traveling from the lead sensor to the lag sensor. The “-“ reversedirection is defined as vehicles traveling from the lag sensor to the lead sensor. Oncethe channel assignments have been specified, the number of bins in the heading ofthe record can be determined. The number of bins is dependent on whether NO orYES is selected for the SUMMATE CHANNELS option, which is available for theFORWARD ONLY and COMBINED options. If NO is selected, or the option isSEPARATED or USER-DEFINED, the number of bins in heading 1, 2 or 3 is thesame as the number of channels. However, if YES is used, you can specify thenumber of bins to use and the channel numbers to assign to each set of bins.Class – In the ADR the word CLASS is used as a menu prompt for the classificationof vehicles according to a preset vehicle classification scheme. The defining criteria ofa scheme are called a ClassTree or Class table. The best known and most widelyused scheme in the world today is referred to as Scheme “F” which uses the number,spacing and grouping of axles to assign each vehicle to one of thirteen definitions ofvehicle type. Scheme“F” is the default scheme in the ADR as supplied, with theaddition of a fourteenth “Other” type and a fifteenth category for “unclassified”. ADRoperators can and are encouraged to determine the best scheme for local operationsand install it in the ADR. This is a very powerful feature of the ADR and operators canapply additional criteria such as length to fine tune their local scheme.Class Tree: – A ClassTree is an advanced way of determining what type of vehiclehas crossed the ADR’s sensors. Unlike a simple lookup table, where there is arigorously defined set of parameters, a ClassTree is implemented as a series of “testand branch” operations. This makes it possible to create custom classificationschemes that would be difficult, or impossible, for a lookup table. A ClassTree canalso be optimized so they require less system resources than the equivalent table.Classification – The dictionary defines the act of classification as the assignment of“things” to groups as determined by criteria. The ADR can assign vehicles to groups(which are called “Bins”) based on a variety of criteria. The most commonly usedcriteria are CLASS (see above definition), CHANNEL, SPEED, LENGTH (eitherwheelbase or chassis), GAP, HEADWAY or GROSS WEIGHT. In setting up the ADR,ADR Plus Technical Manual 103

Glossaryoperators can set the limits of the criteria to be used, for example in classification bySPEED, operators can specify the number of “Speed Bins” and then can specify thelimits of each of the bins as 0 to 20 mph and 20 to 30 mph and so on.Cold Boot – This operation allows a user to reset a recorder to its factory defaultsvalues.Comm ID – Each ADR has the option of setting a Comm ID from 1 to 65534 thisoption is used when several units are connected to the same communication deviceand a user needs have only one unit a time to answer when a command is set to allunits.Continuous File – Is a binned or PVR file which has one header that includes allset-up information including the start date and time and will not include an end datetime until a user ends the current recording session. This recording session couldspan several days, weeks or months depending on the amount of time a users desireto allow the recorder to continue to recorder without stopping or ending the recordingsession.CPU Module – The ADR’s Central Processing Unit, Plus units are equipped with2Mb. of onboard memory; non-Plus units are equipped with 256K of onboardmemory.CPU Mother Board – CPU Mother board contains the connectors for attaching aCPU Module and additional smart modules used by the ADR3000.Daily Files – Is a binned or PVR file which is one file with a file header for each daythat includes all set-up information including the start and end date and time for eachday. These files will have a maximum of 24 hours of data from midnight to midnight oruntil a user has stopped the ADR from recording data.DB9 – Is a D style 9 pin connector used on the ADR3000 as a standard RS232connector.Debounce – Debounce value ensures that phantom signals in tubes or piezosensors are not regarded as axles. It is the time set to ignore any pulse after validaxle detection. The range of possible values is from 1 to 998 msec. If the ADR isundercounting, reduce the debounce time; if the ADR is over-counting, increase thedebounce time.DST – Is the Daylight Saving Time adjustment, users have the option to allow theADR to automatically adjust for the new time.Factory Default Settings – These settings are the default settings as defined bythe firmware which have been defined and set by Peek Traffic Corp. The defaultvalue settings may be different from one version firmware to another.Flash Upgradeable Firmware – This feature enables users to change versions ofADR Firmware by using a simple Firmware Upload Utility which requires nodisassembly or hardware changes to the unit.104 ADR Plus Technical Manual

GlossaryFlow – When any vehicle crosses any sensor array, it is assigned a “flow” indicatingthe vehicle passage. The assigned flow on single sensor arrays is a + (plus). Arrayswith two sensors in the same lane assign either a (+) plus or a (-) minus to a vehiclepassage as determined by the sequence of sensor activations. (i.e.: Travel from A toB is assigned (+) flow and travel from B to A is assigned (-) flow. This is commonlycalled direction of travel. The ADR also makes use of more complex sensor arrays,such as the four roadtube array, which can also provide a lane assignment to avehicle passage. When monitoring the four roadtube array in the VEHICLEMONITOR you will see (*) and (-) assigned to vehicles in the near lane, and in the farlane vehicles will be assigned as (2+) or (2-). The ADR allows you to segregate (orcombine) vehicles into separate data “channels” and “bins” by flow assignment inCHANNEL MAPPING.Gap – Gap is the time (in seconds) between the trailing axle of the first vehicle andthe leading axle of the second vehicle going in the same direction when using piezoor tube sensors, or the time between the rear of one vehicle and the front of thefollowing vehicle when using loops.GPS – Global Positioning SystemHeadway – Headway is the time (in seconds) between the leading axles of twovehicles going in the same direction when using piezo or tube sensors, or the timebetween the front of one vehicle and the front of the following vehicle when usingloops.Idle – The ADR is in a state where there is no start time or date programmed.Inductive Loop (Loop) – An inductive loop detector is the (Loop and lead-in wire)which forms an electrical circuit in each lane of traffic which are then connected to aloop module to detect vehicle traffic.IOC – Is a type of firmware reset performed by ADR CPU known as an IllegalOperation Code.

GlossaryLength – Length is the total wheelbase length when measured by piezo or tubesensors, or the overall length (chassis) when using loop sensors.Load Cells – A load cell is a transducer that converts a load acting on it into ananalog electrical signal. This conversion is achieved by the physical deformation ofstrain gages which are bonded into the load cell beam and wired into a wheatstonebridge configuration. Load Cell WIM systems utilize load cells scales to detect axlesand weigh both the right and left side of the axle simultaneously. As a vehicle passesover the scales, the system records the weights measured by the scale and obtainsan axle weight and gross weight.Marked Files – Are Binned or PVR files that have previously been downloaded ormarked as a read file and will be indicated as an open book when viewed by the ADRCommander.Memory – Is the available room used by ADR for storing Bin, PVR and Set-Up filesin the ADR.Modem LPM – Is a low powered device that enables the ADR to transmitinformation over telephone cables to a remote computer.New Files – Are Binned or PVR files that have never been downloaded and markedas read file, these files are shown as closed book in the ADR Commander whichindicates that the file has never been read before.NPA – Is a type of reset of the ADR CPU firmware, which has been performed by theADR and is logged and displayed as Null Pointer Assignment.Occupancy – The percent of time that a loop is occupied during a given period oftime, for example for a 60 second period 30 seconds is considered 50% occupied.Old Files – Are Binned or PVR files that have previously been downloaded and willbe indicated as an open book by the ADR Commander.PCMCIA Module – Optional Memory expansion Port that is used on an ADR toaccept an S-Ram PCMCIA Card.PCMCIA Card – Removable S-Ram memory card which is used in the PCMCIAModule to either expand the memory of the ADR or to collect and remove files froman ADR.Per-Vehicle-Record (PVR) – Per-Vehicle-Records are individual records of eachvehicle that passes over sensors that are interfaced to the ADR.

Loading a “setupfile” is faster and easier than creating a new Custom Set Up. Users have thee optionto Save and Store a Set Up File, each option will contain more Configurationinformation SetUp, SetUp+Class Tree or a complete BackUp of the configuration.Single – Single is the weight on a single axle of the vehicle.Site – The term “Site” is typically used to refer to the physical location of traffic datacollection equipment. Some examples would be “Corner of Route 301 and SmithRoad”, or “M 25 Junction 14”. The “Site” and “Station” information can be used incombination to represent or designate a single piece of data collection equipment andthe data which is collected from it. Under some circumstances, “Site” may not specifya single road or intersection. In such cases, data collected from each unit within thesite is used to build a picture of the traffic flow through the site. By default from thefactory, the electronic serial number of each ADR is shown as the Site ID.SL58-P Module – Is a low current eight channel modular inductive vehicle detectordesigned primarily for traffic data monitoring applications, using the `EURO card' printedcircuit board outline.SL74-P Module – Is a four channel modular inductive vehicle detector designedprimarily for traffic data monitoring applications, using the `EURO card' printed circuitboard outline.SL – Integrated lid Solar Panel can only be fitted on the ADR1000 or 2000.Smart Modules – Smart Modules for the ADR includes the following PCMCIA, DualComms and the CPU Modules.Speed – Speed is the speed of the vehicle and may be displayed as either miles perhour or kilometers per hour.Station – The “Station” is sometimes used to distinguish between pieces of datacollection equipment at the same physical location (or “Site”). When setting up anADR for operation at a location, you will be prompted to enter in a Site and a Stationidentifier. You should feel free to set the Station field to contain any useful referenceinformation desired in conjunction with the Site field.StopWatch – Is an optional ADR Firmware feature which allows the ADR to performtwin operations, one to calculate and store all of the normal historical studies and one108 ADR Plus Technical Manual

Glossaryto calculate Average Speed, Volume and Percent Occupancy for each lane in aseparate selectable interval from 10 seconds to 60 minutes.Study – Each ADR has the ability to manage eight different data studies at one time,each study will be saved in its own data file. Depending on the sensor arrays selecteda user may have the following surveys to select from (Speed, Lane, Class, Headway,Gap and WIM).Surge Panel – Is a protection device designed to protect the ADR from incomingsurges; the Surge Panel is normally used to protect inputs from communication lines,power, piezo and loop sensors.SW58-P Module – Is an eight channel Weigh-In-Motion module which interfaces toeither class 1 Piezo or Kistler axle sensors.Tagged (Marked) Files – Are Binned or PVR files that have been selected orsometimes referred to as (Marked) to either be collect, deleted or moved from thespecific memory media.Tailgating Algorithm – Is a unique algorithm that enables the ADR to determinewhen four or more axles are detected and if those axles belong to one vehicle or totwo separate vehicles.Tandem – Tandem is the weight on a group of two axles of the vehicle. The group isdefined by the CONFIGURE/CALIBRATION/ MAX LENGTHS option.Triple – Triple is the weight on a group of three axles of the vehicle. The group isdefined by the CONFIGURE/CALIBRATION/MAX LENGTHS option.TONNES – A unit of weight one metric Ton, 1000 kilograms or 2204.62 pounds.TOPS – Traffic Operations and Planning SoftwareUI – Refers to the User Interface, this includes the Keyboard and the LCD display.User Reboot – Is a type of reset of the ADR CPU firmware which has beenperformed by a user and is displayed as a User Reboot.Volume – Is the vehicle count, in the SETUP procedure, volume is called channel,since the volume counts can be channeled.Weight – Weight is the total gross weight of the vehicle.Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) – Is the practice of weighing a vehicle as it moves alonga highway system.Wrap Files – Allows the ADR to delete the oldest files first to obtain room in memorywhen needed to continue recording the most current recording period.
