Active
Direction
Description
Lets you set a lane
status as active or
inactive.
Sets the direction
for the lane. Choose
between Left, Right,
and Bi-direction.
Left and Right refer
to the direction that
the traffic is moving
toward, relative to the
sensor.
(If you choose
Bi-direction, then
Direction Protection,
a setting found on the
Verification screen,
will be disabled.)
Details
You might set a
lane inactive when
it's been correctly
configured and tuned,
but you don't need
data reporting for it
right now. By making
it inactive instead of
deleting it, you can
easily turn it on later if
needed.
Choose Left or Right
depending on the
direction the traffic is
moving. (If Direction
Protection is turned
on, then choosing
Left or Right here
will help the sensor
detect wrong-way
vehicles, and they will
not be counted by the
sensor—though they
will still appear.)
If you set it to
Bi-direction, data will
be reported for traffic
going both directions
(useful for lanes that
change direction at
certain times of day,
such as those that
change to match
commuter traffic at
the beginning and
end of the work day).
