[. . . ] www. vaisala. com Vaisala Permanent Traffic Analyzer TCP100 Benefits Permanent solution provides data 24/7/365 Easy install and maintenance means less cost over the lifetime of the product Provides useful data for planning expansion/growth of roadways Provides accurate count data to reference other systems (toll booths, parking attendants, etc. ) Using multiple wireless sensors on a single base unit reduces overall cost Applications The Vaisala Permanent Traffic Analyzer TCP100 is a wireless permanent traffic analyzer that collects data without any external sensors, loops, or tubes. [. . . ] The sensor provides accurate and essential data necessary for effective traffic analysis, control and management. When used with Wireless Data Management (WDM) software, historical data can easily be presented in the form of reports, charts, and graphs. The TCP100 adds a unique, cost effective approach by measuring both weather and traffic through a single sensor. This allows the user to gain either weather or traffic data they might not have previously had access too. Highways and city streets with free-flow conditions Parking lots, garages, and shopping centers with freeflow conditions Toll booths Construction areas Airports, stadiums, and casinos Military bases and border crossings Features Provides accurate vehicle counts, speed, and classification Monitors traffic at specific locations Wireless data transfer to base unit on side of roadway Easy to use software for viewing data Compatible with road weather stations Optional road weather data for roadway condition monitoring Technical data General (Applies to TCP100, TCP101, TCP102) Canister Dimensions 152. 4 mm (diameter) x 82. 6 mm (height) (6 inches x 3. 25 inches) Operating Temperature -40 ºC to +85 ºC (-40 ºF to +185 ºF) Electrical Operating Voltage 3 volts Battery Type Lithium thionyl chloride Battery Life Up to 3 years (typically 1 to 3 years, varying with AADT* and polling interval) Distance from sensor to 91. 4 to 121. 9 meters Local Base Unit (LBU) (300 to 400 feet) recommended, depending on frequency used Vehicle Count Binned; speed, length, daily and AADT* Vehicle Speed Binned; custom up to 12 bins Vehicle Length Binned; custom up to 6 bins Polling Intervals 5 to 120 minutes Vaisala Model TCP102 (additional capabilities) Pavement Condition Metal pins detecting conductivity of surface material External Temperature Probes (2) probes at . 43. 18cm/20 inches Probe Accuracy +/- 0. 5 ºC from -10 ºC to +85ºC (-22 ºF to +176 ºF) Radio RF Transceivers U.
