Introduction

Detailed assessments were done at all 129 signalised intersections in preparation for tender
submission. During this assessment period the focus was to determine which existing field
equipment and cables can be re-used based on the tests and inspections that was done as part of
the assessment.
The installation Methodology adopted was based on the information obtained during these site
investigations.

1.1

Purpose

This document contains information with regards to the selected Traffic signal equipment and the
Installation Methodology that will be adopted during the installation phase.

Robust function under adverse weather conditions

Stop Bar+ sensors also detect bicycles and small objects

The sensors maintain high accuracy by means

of innovative built-in self-calibration functions throughout the
entire design life.

The Radar performance is not affected by dirt, smog, fog, sunlight,

wind, sandstorms or extreme temperatures (-40+85C).

Because of its IP67 water tight housing, the sensor can be mounted in
any environments.

Smartmicro traffic sensors use RS458 communication by default.

Ethernet, CAN and wireless options are available. Usually
all sensors of an intersection are remotely accessible over the
internet, for convenient re-configuration of loops or real-time traffic data streaming

The Traffic Management Configurator (TMC) Easy Mode

software can control every aspect of the Radar sensor and
allows for intuitive configuration and alignment of the sensor.
