Traffic Data Classifier System
Download BrochureThe Wanco Traffic Data Classifier System provides a safe method for analyzing traffic patterns. The Data Collector employs side-fire radar to measure vehicle speed and length. Completely nonintrusive, it uses no wires, loops or hoses. The Traffic Analyzer app is an analytic graphing application that makes it easy to chart and interpret traffic data. With an optional modem, data can be retrieved remotely via the internet.
Agencies with an interest in public safety use the Wanco Traffic Data Classifier System for analyzing traffic flow and making informed decisions for managing traffic. The system is often deployed in neighborhoods, school zones and traffic hot spots to investigate complaints from citizens, neighborhoods and construction crews. The system comprises a data collector and analytic software.
Data Collector
The data collector is installed on a Wanco Speed Trailer or Message Sign, or nearly any Wanco equipment. The data collector employs side-fire radar to capture lane flow and density, continuously logging vehicle speed, direction, length and count. It registers both approaching and departing traffic.
The data collector operates simultaneously with, or independently from, the equipment it is installed on, and is powered by the equipment’s power system.
Traffic Analyzer
The Wanco Traffic Analyzer app installs on your computer, analyzes traffic data from the data collector and displays it in interactive, customizable graphs.
Easily interpret data and manage multiple projects in a single window. Filter and tailor graphs to your needs, including vehicle counts by speed, traffic volume over time, and statistical means and percentiles.
Data Download
The data collector stores up to five million records in internal memory. Millions of records can be downloaded locally or remotely in just minutes — locally using a USB flash drive, or remotely over a wireless cellular connection.
For remote access, the system requires an optional Wanco Modem.
