| RTMS™ Interface Card |

Enlarge |
An RTMS™, feeding its contact closures through the RIC Interface card, is the ideal replacement for failed loops. It can be mixed and matched with all existing field equipment, requiring no software changes. The RTMS multi-zone radar detector provides output through contact closures and a serial RS-232 bus.
Loop-based legacy systems require
detectors with performance matching their existing detectors and controllers. |
Applications
- Freeway traffic management systems
- Actuated intersections
- Ramp metering
Advantages
- No costly lane closures
- Allows a single side-fired RTMS to emulate contact closures of dual-loop speed traps or of single loops up to 8 lanes
- Allows the RTMS occupancy
measurement to match 6' x 6' loop detectors
- Surge protection/isolation equivalent to a type 222 Isolator card
- Visible LED indication of vehicle detection
- Fail-safe operation for actuated signalized intersection applications
- RIC cards plug into standard input files. Compatible with NEMA TS-2, TS2-Type2, Type 170 and 2070 Controllers
- Low life-cycle cost
- High reliability
- No scheduled maintenance procedures required

| TC26-B Microwave Vehicle Motion Sensor |

Enlarge |
The TC26-B is a microwave motion sensor that will identify a vehicle moving in its detection pattern and then trigger the operation of a traffic controller. By utilizing microwave technology, this device provides accurate and consistent vehicle detection that is not affected by temperature, humidity, color or background variations. |

Enlarge |
The TC26-B easily mounts above ground, requires no pavement cuts and can be installed with minimal traffic disruption. All parameters are adjusted via external controls located on the back panel. The housing is factory sealed with an external wiring harness or an optional quick-connect cable eliminating the need to open the sensor during installation.
