A directional Doppler radar used to detect vehicle speeds, collect traffic data, and provide real-time inputs for automated traffic management systems.

Traffic data can be collected and reviewed through Command Center for general monitoring and reporting, or utilized by SmartZone to automatically trigger changes to connected traffic safety equipment based on prevailing traffic conditions.

SolarTech provides integrated sensing and traffic management solutions, not just individual sensors. Depending on your needs, we can integrate sensors into existing SolarTech equipment or provide a dedicated solar-powered trailer with the necessary communications, power supply, and mounting hardware. Use them for basic traffic data collection and monitoring, for remote surveillance, or integrated with SmartZone to automate traffic safety equipment based on changing roadway conditions.
