Traffic monitoring, traffic management, traffic data capture whatever you call it, it can be a complex operation. Thanks to ClearView Traffic Group however, the process has become a lot simpler and more efficient, accurate and reliable.
After a rapid, reliable solution for short-term traffic data capture? Look no further than the M500 Overground Radar Counter from traffic management and traffic monitoring specialists Golden River.
Specifically developed for temporary traffic surveys, the M500 negates the need to bury inductive loops and lay pneumatic pipes. The result? Less risk, more productivity.
Utilising state-of-the-art features such as a Bluetooth enabled PDA interface and auto-adjust sensing head permits, it's the ideal tool to minimise disruption to motorists and optimise safety for traffic engineers all whilst logging traffic data accurately and efficiently.
Enhancing the safety of road users is paramount for traffic engineers. It makes sense then, to also protect themselves on the roads.
Traditional methods of laying pneumatic tubes is becoming increasingly dangerous. Not only is it time consuming, it poses a risk for the engineers involved and disrupts motorists.
And it's for those exact reasons that Golden River developed the M500 Overground Radar Counter. Already popular in the traffic management industry, the M500 is completely self-contained and can be left for up to 30 days logging data with precise accuracy.
Thanks to the M500's extensive memory capacity, it's able to securely store data of up to 250,000 vehicles all without further intervention. So you can get on with new traffic monitoring projects, confident that the M500 is programmed to work day and night.
Getting started
Perhaps the most appealing benefit of the M500 is its seamless installation and constant performance.
Mounting the traffic monitoring unit is quick and simple:
Fix the bracket to your chosen lamp column
Slot the M500 in
An option to test the unit is possible simply follow the instructions on-screen
Using the installation settings' window, enter in the distance from the roadside and the required direction of detection
Now you're free to leave the unit for the duration of the project and return to collate the data
Realise the power within
On top of a Bluetooth connection encouraging a swift set-up and green credentials making the M500 a renewable energy source, the traffic counter features automatic angling and focusing heads so no fluke readings or missed vehicles just ultra reliable, precise data.
Identifying vehicles however big or small
From mini vans to hefty lorries, no vehicle is too wide, narrow, tall or short for the M500 to recognise and identify.
Let's take a look at the key benefits:
Fast, cost effective installation
Minimal data collection trips required saving time, money and carbon emissions
Renewable energy source reduces environmental impact
