Setting up the traffic limiting parameters

Certain limitations can be specified for the traffic during the Traffic Detector setup, i.e. the speed limit for individual vehicles and the maximum overall road load.

If any of these values exceeds the limit, it is highlighted in red color in the Traffic Monitor (see the Auto-Intellect Software Package. The Operator's Guide document), and the alarm notification window can be set to open.

To specify the traffic limits, do the following:

1. Open the Hardware tab in the System Settings window (1).
2. In the object tree on the left side of the Hardware tab, select the Traffic Detector object representing the Traffic Detector module to be set up. The settings panel of the selected object will open on the right side of the window (2).
   
3. In the Speed limit field, enter the maximum allowed driving speed.

4. In the Road load threshold field, enter the maximum allowed road load.

   Note.

   The road load parameter is calculated using the following formula:
   

    , where T₀ is the total of the time periods when vehicles were present in the loop detector zone, and T is the time period set in the Statistics update time field.

5. Click Apply (6).

The traffic limitations are now set.
