Note. For this to be
a useful way to verify
detections, you need
a way to measure or
estimate the speeds
of the vehicles on
the roadway.

Compare the information in the sidebar with what's being
3
detected on the roadway. It's easiest to do this one lane at a
time. For instance, you could manually count all vehicles that
pass in lane 1 in a set period of time, then check to see if the
volume counts match your counts. If they match, the lanes are
set up properly.
Repeat with all lanes, and, if desired, other sidebar options.

If the detections don't match traffic
You may be able to improve accuracy by adjusting lane properties
and thresholds (covered later in this chapter), double-checking
the alignment (covered in the previous chapter), or changing the
mounting locations. If all else fails, contact your dealer or support@
wavetronix.com.
Using the play/pause/stop buttons
You may find it useful to use these buttons to pause or restart the
speed and volume counts on the sidebars. For instance, using the
example in step 3 above, you could do the following:
Description
Shows a growing tally
of how many vehicles
have been detected
in each lane.
Shows the constantly-
updated average
speed of vehicles
detected in each lane.
Shows a growing tally
of how many vehicles
of a given length class
have been detected
in each lane.
Details
Choose this to check
that the sensor is
detecting vehicles
over a longer period
of time.
Choose this to check
that the sensor is
detecting speeds
correctly. If you'd
prefer a per vehicle
speed, rather than
an average, use the
Vehicle Display menu.
These sidebars only
appear if classes have
been set up on the
Definitions screen.
There will be one
sidebar for each class
(C1, C2, etc.).
