CHAPTER 6 • LANE SETUP

Construct and Remove Barriers
Constructing a barrier or median is essentially the act of dividing a single road into two
separate roads. SmartSensor Manager defines a barrier or median as two adjacent shoulder
lines or two shoulder lines with only background (khaki-colored) areas in between them.
To construct a barrier or median, click on the Construct Barriers button and move the cur-
sor to the paved area where you want to insert the barrier. When the cursor changes from
an arrow to a hand, click and the barrier will appear.
Initially, the new barrier is only two shoulder lines wide. To widen the barrier, use the Ad-
just Lanes feature as explained earlier.
You may also remove a barrier, or convert two roads into a single road, by clicking on the
Remove Barrier button and selecting the barrier you wish to delete.
Reverse Direction
Once the configuration process has been completed, you will notice that SmartSensor Man-
ager shows all detected vehicles moving in the same direction. The Reverse Direction but-
ton enables you to change the direction of travel depicted in SmartSensor Manager so that
each lane reflects the actual direction traveled by detected vehicles.
To do this, press the Reverse Direction button and move the cursor over the lane you wish
to change. Once the cursor is in place, the cursor will again change from an arrow to a hand
and a tiny arrow will appear below the hand to indicate the current direction of that lane
(see Figure 6.4).

Click the mouse, and the arrow will reverse direction to verify the change has occurred.
Using the Reverse Direction button only affects the SmartSensor Manager display, not the
sensor or any detections, and is useful for verifying performance.
