RTMS® G4™ radar sensor
The non-intrusive radar-based RTMS® (Remote Traffic Microwave Sensor) G4™ is an advanced sensor for the detection and measurement of traffic on roadways. It is all-weather accurate and virtually maintenance-free. Best of all, RTMS is renowned for long-term, worry-free reliability.
The RTMS G4 is a small, roadside pole-mounted radar operating in the microwave band. Simultaneously, the sensor provides per-lane presence as well as volume, occupancy, speed and classification information in up to 12 user-defined detection zones.Output information is provided to existing controllers via contact closure and to other computing systems by serial or IP communication port or by an optional radio modem. A single RTMS can replace multiple inductive loop detectors and the attendant controller.
The G4 combines a high resolution radar and a variety of communications options including wireless solutions all in a single enclosure. This sleek, cabinet-free detection station is simple to integrate into any urban signal control or highway traffic management system.
Applications
- Mid-block detection for intersections (system, advance detection)
- Freeway traffic management and incident detection systems
- Traveler information and travel-time prediction
- Ramp metering
- Queue detection
- Work zone safety systems
- Permanent and mobile traffic counting stations
- Enforcement of speed violation
- Loop replacement (single or dual loop emulation) in legacy system
Benefits
- Speedy safe installation, typically on existing road-side poles, with no traffic disruptions
- Compatible with all RTMS integrated solutions, including detection station, counting, urban traffic control, event reporting, data collection and flow monitoring
- Highly flexible: suitable for any road and pole type, with various built-in communications options, including contact pairs, radio modems and a video camera with TCP/IP
- Zero Setback capability means most poles will be suitable for installation
- Low power requirement allow continuous operation with a cost-effective solar system
