Why Use RADAR Detection?Why Use RADAR Detection?To meet a traffic engineer’s wish list of detector capabilities:– functions like a loop

d i d di hi l• detect moving and standing vehicles• work in all weather conditions

cover many lanes (replace many loops)– cover many lanes (replace many loops)– easy to install and maintain (no lane closures)– provide Volume, Occupancy, Average Speedprovide Volume, Occupancy, Average Speed

How Does RADAR Work?How Does RADAR Work?> The radar antenna sends out a short, high power

l f i t k fpulse of microwaves at a known frequency.

> When the waves hit an object, it reflects the signal backback.

> The received echo allows the radar to detect and range the object.g j
