Radar Recorder with Installation Kit,
PDA and Software
Includes the Radar Recorder, installation
kit, PDA software, desktop data processing
& reporting software and User's Manual.
PDA Data Interface & Retrieval
At any point while data is being collected, you can connect a PDA to the unit
and use the free Collect software to monitor the recording of vehicles. The
same software can be used to retrieve your data once you have completed
your data collection. Once your data has been retrieved, take the PDA back to
your office and the data you retrieved can then be processed with the powerful
TRAXPro software.
Safe and Easy Installation
The non-invasive radar sensing method allows you to easily install the Radar
Recorder and begin collecting in just a matter of minutes. Since no tubes or
loops are used, you never have to be in the road when installing the Radar
Recorder. Simply mount the Radar Recorder to any convenient location and
aim it toward the road.
Included with the Radar Recorder is an installation kit comprised of installation
brackets, screws and utility tools. This installation kit gives you everything you
need to install the Radar Recorder in the field.
Features of the Radar Recorder

The new Radar Recorder represents a leap forward in the use of radar for
accurate traffic data collection. Equipped with 2nd generation algorithms, the
Radar Recorder accurately records up to two lanes of traffic data without
personnel ever having to go into the road.
There are no road tubes or loops required with this device - simply mount the
unit at a convenient location, aim it at the road and you'll begin collecting
highly accurate data in a matter of minutes. The unobtrusive nature of this
device means you can covertly record data without drivers knowing and
altering their driving habits.
When you are ready to review your data and produce reports, connect a PDA
to the unit and download your data using the free Collect software. The data
can then be processed, and reports produced, using our TRAXPro software.

Covert 'Black Box' Recording
One of the advantages of the Radar Recorder is that it is all but invisible to
drivers. Since there are no road tubes in the road, and no other obvious signs
that data is being collected, you get unbiased data without drivers changing
their driving habits and skewing the results.
Comprehensive Reports
Data from the Radar Recorder can be processed with our powerful TRAXPro
software. TRAXPro has been designed specifically to be easy to use, while still
providing powerful data analysis functions. The program allows you to create
your own report formats and produce color graphs in 2 or 3 dimensions.
Finished reports can also be saved in Acrobat PDF or Rich Text RTF format for
easy electronic transfer. View Sample Reports...
Highly Accurate Data Collection
The Radar Recorder offers significant improvements over previous models of these types of data collectors. The
most important of these is the 2nd generation processing algorithm, which provides highly accurate speed
information. The speeds of recorded vehicles are accurate to +/- 1 Mph.
A sophisticated and powerful platoon splitting algorithm makes the Radar Recorder also an extremely accurate
counting device. A properly installed Radar Recorder being used to record a busy two lane road will accurately
record more than 98 percent of vehicles for the near lane and more than 96 percent for the far lane. This makes
the Radar Recorder a highly reliable tool for getting accurate data on both sides of a two-lane road.
Data comparison was done against a TRAX Flex road tube recorder, with the results showing that the Radar
Recorder compares extremely favorably with the TRAX Flex. More details...

Ideal for Portable or Permanent Station Use
The compact design of the Radar Recorder makes it easy to take it from one
location to another, if you need to record data at multiple sites. However, it can
also be used at permanent stations to provide continuous counting coverage
throughout the year. By using the Solar Panel option, you can record data for
months at a time, without having to replace and recharge batteries. The
recorder's 4 MB internal memory can store weeks or months of data before
needing to be downloaded. More details on the optional solar panel...
