IR100 Intelligent Vehicle Detector
Nortech Intelligent Traffic Monitoring Equipment provides a system to acquire, real-time Traffic Data relating to vehicle volumes, occupancy and speed.
The Hardware making up the “Intelligent Vehicle Loop Detector” unit comprises of a number of modules designed to be accommodated in a standard 19″ card cage.
They comprise of multi-channel detector cards, the SC600E processor and communications module and a PS224B Power-supply and battery charger module.
Outstations are typically installed every 500 meters along major arterials to provide early warning of traffic congestion and accidents
FEATURES
- Multi – Lane Data – The IR100 can monitor 24 loops (or 12 lanes in speed measurement mode) at vehicle speeds to 200kmH.
- Time tagged or Average Data – The IR100 will accurately time -stamp (100μS resolution) individual loop data or provide average flow data relating to traffic volume, speed, headway and % occupancy
- Internal Communications bus – The processor card communicates serially with the detector cards to facilitate remote detector card configuration and diagnostics
- External Serial Port – RS232 (point – point) and RS485 multi-drop communications options available at Baud rates from 2400 to 38,400.
- Built in battery charger – The equipment power supply has an integral charger for a 12V standby battery and auxiliary 12V supply for communications modems.
- Reliable / low maintenance – The IR100 equipment has an enviable field record for long service / low maintenance.
- Equipment approvals – The IR100 equipment fully complies with European and Australian standards for EMC, Electrical safety and environmental immunity.
