  • Page 3: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The TMA-3B3 is the combination of a microwave radar and a light emitting sensor, designed for bicycles counting on bicycle lane. The output consists of a serial interface. The unit can be delivered with a solar panel and with an additional cabinet containing a battery, a modem and a solar regulator.
  • Page 4: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Only skilled and instructed persons should carry out work with the radar product. Experience and safety procedures in the following areas may be relevant: • Working with mains power • Working with modern electronic and electric equipment • Working at height Working at the roadside or highways •...

  • Page 6: Precision In Function Of The Installation Height, Offset And Width Of Bicycle Path

    The aim is for the lidar beam to "cut" cyclists at chest height. We therefore recommend installing the radar at a height of 1.4 m and a vertical angle of max. 5°, i.e. close to the horizontal (see section 8.4 below for precision in function of installation height). 1.
  • Page 7 therefore the maximum distance of detection is therefore a function of the height of the installation, the Offset (O) and the Width (W) of the bicycle path. The maximum detection Distance D as shown in Figure 4 is 4 m. At an Offset value of zero meter, the maximum width of the bicycle path is equal to 4 meters, which is in such particular case equal to the maximum Distance D.

    Figure 13: cabinet with SD card reader ETUP 1. Install the cabinet at the foot of the pole, under the TMA-3B3. Insert collars with the right diameter in the clamps (10) on the backside of the cabinet. 2. Insert a SIM card in the slot (Figure 12, p. 9, mark 7) or a SD card in the reader (Figure 13, mark 11). 3.
  • Page 11: Radar Settings

    10 RADAR SETTINGS 10.1 C OMMUNICATION • The TMA-3B3 can be configured by serial communication (115200 bauds 8N1). • It needs to be disconnected from the modem (Figure 11, item 13) and connected to a PC equipped with a serial port (or via an USB-Serial (RS-232) adapter).
  • Page 12: Step 2 - Range And Maximum Speed Configuration

    If the clock of the radar is not set, the software will ask whether to set the time of the device. This setting is only necessary for radars with memory card (SD card). 10.3.2 Step 2 – range and maximum speed configuration Please note that the displayed ranges are given perpendicular to the bike lane direction.
  • Page 13: Step 4 - Save The Settings

    This click occurs when the target is validated by the TMA-3B3. This validation takes place when the target leaves the radar detection zone (which extends approximately from the installation point up to ~ 8 m from it). Compared to the cut-off point of the laser beam, approaching targets will therefore be taken into account more quickly than receding targets.
  • Page 14: Step 6 - Close The Software

    Screenshot 3: object detections displayed on the Graphical User Interface (GUI) 10.3.6 Step 6 – close the software When everything is OK, close properly the software. This will configure the TMA-3B3 for operation. 10.4 D 10.4.1 Real-time data on HyperTerminal It is possible to verify in real time the measurements made by the TMA-3B3.

    • Please note that the PIN of the SIM card is supposed to be 0000 when the modem is first initialized. If it isn’t the desired PIN, the only way to change it is via the « setup.ini » file. The red LED on the modem should flash approximately every 4 seconds if the network is OK.
