The TDC3 Series is a family of advanced traffic detectors using Doppler radar, ultrasound and passive infrared. Comprehensive traffic data for each passed vehicle, including individual vehicle class, speed, length, occupancy time and time gap, are provided via RS485. Designed for traffic management applications, TDC3 detectors can replace various existing overhead detectors, including ASIM TT29x Tri-Tech detectors. This short video illustrates the principles and advantages of the TDC3.
TDC3 Series
Traffic Data Acquisition up to TLS 8+1
Order No.: 1111x (x depends on model)
Technologies:
- MW
- US
- PIR
Features:
- Multi-technology detection
Three independent physical detection principles - Standardized vehicle classification
German TLS for 2+0, 2+1, 5+1 and 8+1 classes - Auto calibration
within recommended mounting height above the lane with ADEC DET-Soft software - Detection of lane-changing vehicles and vehicles traveling between adjacent lanes (except TDC3-2)
- Detection of standing vehicles / queues
- Detection of wrong-way drivers
- Wide operating temperature range (–40 to +70°C | –40 to +158ºF)
Optimal performance in all weather and climate conditions - Remote configuration and setup
with ADEC DET-Soft installation software
Applications
ADEC TDC3 Series detectors are specifically designed for a variety of traffic data collection and traffic management applications as replacement for inductive loops, including tunnels, where data accuracy is vital and lane closures are too disruptive and must be kept to a minimum:
- Traffic management Maximizing lane capacity by adjusting speed limits on highways
- Automated, temporary break-down lane use for increased highway capacity
- Measurement of volume and speed by vehicle class for environmental noise and pollution analysis (often in conjunction with other environmental sensors)
- Establishment of road usage patterns by vehicle class etc.
- All applications where inductive loops are used, yet non-intrusive installation is preferred
- Typical ‘your travel time is’ systems
