IntroductionIn this chapter˽˽SmartSensor HD Package˽˽Selecting a Mounting Location1The Wavetronix SmartSensor HD traffic sensor utilizes the latest technology to collectand deliver traffic statistics. The SmartSensor HD collects information through the useof a 24.125 GHz (K band) operating radio frequency and is capable of measuring trafficvolume and classification, average speed, individual vehicle speed, lane occupancy andpresence. The SmartSensor HD uses what is classified as frequency modulated continuouswave (FMCW) radar; it detects and reports traffic conditions simultaneously over as manyas ten lanes of traffic.Once SmartSensor HD is installed, the configuration process is quick and easy. After installation,this unit will require little or no on-site maintenance and can be remotely reconfiguredfor optimal performance. This user guide outlines the step-by-step process ofinstalling and configuring the SmartSensor HD. Any questions about the information inthis guide should be directed to Wavetronix or your distributor.SmartSensor HD PackageA standard SmartSensor HD package contains the following items:˽˽˽˽SmartSensor HD SS125 detector with installed backplateSmartSensor HD quick-reference guidesThe following items are not included but are necessary for installation:˽˽Sensor mount

(1.8 to 76.2 m) of the sensor and run parallel with eachother. Multiple sensors should be considered if more than 10 lanes need to be simultaneouslymonitored. If lanes do not need to be simultaneously monitored, up to 22 lanescan be configured for collection by a single sensor.Parallel Lanes – When the sensor is used to collect both mainline and ramp data, thepole position should be selected so that the on and off ramp lanes run parallel withthe mainline. If lanes are not parallel, installation of multiple SmartSensor HD unitsshould be considered to achieve the sensor’s ±2 degree side-to-side angle requirement.Sensors on the Same Pole – When multiple sensors are mounted on the same pole,they will not be subject to interference if they are configured to operate using differentRF channels and are separated vertically by a few feet. The higher sensor would typicallybe used for the lanes farther from the pole in order to minimize occlusion.Sensors on Opposing Poles – SmartSensor HD units facing each other on opposingpoles should operate on different RF channels and be separated by a 70-ft. (21.3-m)lateral offset, if possible.Line of Sight – The SmartSensor HD is designed to work accurately in the presenceof barriers, but in general if there is an alternate mounting location that would avoidany type of structural occlusion, this is preferred. Avoid occlusion by trees, signs, andother roadside structures.Neighboring Structures and Parallel Walls – For best performance, it is preferred thatsensor locations have a 30-ft. (9.1-m) lateral separation from overhead signs, overpasses,tunnels, parallel walls, and parallel-parked vehicles in order to avoid multiplereflection paths from a single vehicle.
