Forward–fire intersection sensor
The Wavetronix SmartSensor Advance bridges the gap between safety and efficiency with one-of-a-kind
SafeArrival technology. SafeArrival allows for effective dilemma-zone protection based upon dynamic
ETA tracking of vehicles as they approach the stop-bar.

  • Page 5 SmartSensor Advance Bid specifications 1.0 General. This item shall govern the purchase of aboveground continuous tracking advance detector (CTAD) equivalent to the Wavetronix SmartSensor Advance. A CTAD detects vehicles by transmitting electromagnetic radar signals through the air. The signals bounce off vehicles in their paths and part of the signal is returned to the CTAD.
  • Page 6 SmartSensor Advance 3.2 Detection range. The CTAD shall be able to detect and report information on the roadway located with the near boundary at 50 ft. (15.2 m) from the base of the pole on which the CTAD is mounted.
  • Page 7 SmartSensor Advance 7.0 Electrical. The CTAD shall consume less than 4 W at 12 VDC. The CTAD shall operate with a DC input between 10 VDC and 28 VDC. The CTAD shall have onboard surge protection. 8.0 Communication ports. The CTAD shall have two communication ports, and both ports shall communicate independently and simultaneously.
  • Page 8 SmartSensor Advance 9.2 Antenna design. The CTAD antennas shall be designed on printed circuit boards. Printed circuit board antennas eliminate the need for RF connectors and cabling that result in decreased reliability. Printed circuit antennas are less prone to physical damage due to their extremely low mass.
  • Page 9 SmartSensor Advance The ETA thresholds can be used to provide superior gap management for green extension applications at signalized intersections, especially when a high-speed traffic stream presents a limited number of opportunities to gap out. For example, when the operational objective is to increase safety by extending the green light for law-abiding high-speed drivers, reporting of vehicles upstream of 5.5...
  • Page 10 SmartSensor Advance The CTAD shall be capable of continuous operation over an ambient temperature range of -40°F to 165°F (-40°C to 74°C). The CTAD shall be capable of continuous operation over a relative humidity range of 5% to 95% (non-condensing).
  • Page 11 SmartSensor Advance Classroom lab training shall involve presentations outlining and defining the CTAD, its functions, and the procedures for proper opera- tion. These presentations shall be followed by hands-on labs in which trainees shall practice using the equipment to calibrate and configure a virtual CTAD.
  • Page 12: Installation Specifications

    Recommended connectors are Cannon’s KPT series, and recommended backshells are Glenair Series 37 cable sealing backshells. The cable shall be the Wavetronix SS-704-xxx or an equivalent cable that conforms to the following specifications: • The RS-485 conductors shall be a twisted pair.
  • Page 13 Both communication and power conductors can be bundled together in the same cable as long as the abovementioned conditions are met. In the case of a retrofitted CTAD that has both RS-485 and RS-232 lines, the cable shall be the Wavetronix SS-708-xxx or an equiva- lent cable.
  • Page 14 SmartSensor Advance The power converter shall comform to safety standards UL 60950 and EN 60950. The power converter shall conform to EMC standards EN 55022 Class B and EN 61000-3-2, 3. In brown-out conditions (i.e. < 85 VAC input), the output voltage of the power converter shall be less than 1 VDC.
