Fixing occlusion problems

Move the sensor higher on the pole (keeping it within the rec-

ommended mounting heights).

Move the sensor to another spot if possible, away from

obstructions.

Move the sensor if possible; make sure it is separated from

overhead signs, overpasses, parallel walls, etc. A 30-ft. (9.1-m)

lateral separation would be ideal, but even just a few feet can

make a difference.

Adjust the sensor's sensitivity thresholds in SmartSensor Man-

ager Advance, as covered in chapter 6.

Chapter 1: Choosing a Mounting Location

Note. A good rule of

thumb is that 50%

of a vehicle must

be visible above

any barrier in order

to be detected.
